There are no beds at Beechwood so it isn’t a hospice. There are no doctors nor medicines at Beechwood so it isn’t a hospital, yet those who attend our programmes say it is their time with us that helps them most following a cancer diagnosis in their family.
 
Described by a patient as a haven of tranquillity, the Beechwood Centre based in Stockport offers emotional and psychological support, not just to cancer patients, but also to their carers and their families. Thousands of people from all parts of the North West of England have benefited during the past seventeen years.
 
All our programmes of support are individually structured and are provided free of charge by fully qualified nurses and experienced complementary therapists.
 
Referrals are accepted from hospitals, including Christie, from GPs, from Macmillan Nurses and from other health professionals, who all work closely with Beechwood. However patients can refer themselves direct,
 we are as near as a telephone.
 
Our charity income target now stands at over £1,000 per day.
We greatly appreciate those who arrange events
on our behalf and support us in any way.
