Absolutely paw-fect! Say a BIG hello to lovable Narla the Newfoundland 🐶

Narla belongs to a staff member on our In-Patient Unit and is a regular visitor to the hospice, where she has been bringing joy and comfort to our patients since she was a puppy.

Narla isn’t the only animal we have welcomed into our hospice, as we allow animals and pets of all shapes and sizes to visit – in the past, we have welcomed horses, alpacas and even reindeer! 🐴🫎

Narla is pictured with David Webster, the CEO of Dougie Mac 🌻

A HUGE thank you to Leigh Jackson (pictured centre) who recently raised a very impressive £7,350.79 for Dougie Mac by completing the Potters ‘Arf amongst other fundraising activities. 🌻💛

Leigh signed up for the event after his mum – Angie Jackson-Dwyer – was diagnosed with cancer in August. Angie, who was a Community Palliative Care Specialist Nurse at Dougie Mac for 19 years, passed away on the hospice In-patient unit on 5th September.

Leigh – who last ran the Potters ‘Arf with his mum in 2023 – said: “My mum had an aura of kindness and always put everyone first. Staff at the hospice – who were also my mum’s friends and colleagues – treated her like a queen and made sure she was comfortable.
“This was my way of saying ‘thank you’ for looking after her. They do such a fantastic job.”

These experiences mean the world to both our bereaved and non-bereaved siblings, giving them the chance to make precious memories, build friendships and enjoy being kids.

We're proud to support Hospice Care Week; an annual event organised by Hospice UK to recognise and celebrate hospice care nationwide. This year, the theme for the week – which runs from 6th -12th October - is ‘Hospice care is more than you think’.

Ella was just five months old when she was referred to Dougie Mac’s Children’s Services. Over the years, our staff were able to provide respite for the family whilst caring for Ella.

Mum Louise said: “It is difficult to put into words how valuable my home support was, I would not have survived without it. We will never be able to thank the staff for the love, care and support they showed us – they were there for us all the time.”

Our Story

Dougie Mac is the only adult hospice delivering excellent care for people approaching the end of their lives in North Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding villages.

The hospice was established in 1973 and has grown over the years not only in size but also in the range and amount of care services available for local people. Our consultant led multi-disciplinary clinical team provide specialist palliative/end of life care for people living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses; as well as offering help and support for their families and carers. We do not charge for the care and help we provide, we rely on 75% of our income coming from voluntary donations each year with the rest provided by some statutory funding.

We have no association with any other organisation, even those national charities who share a similar name. Our ability to meet the needs of the community we serve is very dependent on the support of local people, groups, businesses and organisations. Our team of nurses, doctors, healthcare assistants, volunteers, chaplains, social workers, therapists, and support staff care for all the needs of our patients facing a terminal illness: physical, emotional, social and spiritual. Together we aim to help patients both at home and in the hospice to achieve the very best quality of life, whatever their life expectancy, days, weeks or months.
