Cheadle-based company Together has donated £50,000 towards St Ann's Hospice's new building.

The money will go towards the construction of a family overnight room at the new hospice in Heald Green. 

It comes not long after the first spades hit the ground in the construction of the new hospice.

This latest donation is one in a series from Together, a company specialising in personal and business loans. 

In addition to the above-mentioned overnight room, Together has previously sponsored a counselling room and a family breakout room, all through the fundraising efforts of its staff.

Emma Dixon, Director of Clinical Services at St Ann's Hospice, says: "I want to thank Together for the incredible amount of money they have raised to go to our new hospice.

"The difference these rooms will make to our patients, our families and our staff here at the hospice is indescribable.

"The counselling room will allow […] those that need our support to meet their counsellors and to receive one-to-one support in a comfortable and safe environment.

"The family breakout area is much-needed for our hospice. […]

"The overnight room, which is Together's third donation, will be incredible for the new building. For many patients, an overnight stay with their families is really needed to allow them to spend time together as a family at what is quite often one of the hardest times they will experience.

"The difference this room will make will be unbelievable so thank you Together Money for this incredible donation."

Sarah Nield, Group Chief Compliance Officer at Together, said: "St Ann's Hospice provides exceptional support to patients and their loved ones who are going through the hardest of times, and we are proud to play our part in supporting them in the creation of this new overnight room.

"Supporting a local charity is very important to us and we're so glad to provide St Ann's with the much-needed funds to build the counselling room, the breakout area and now the overnight room."
