Huge thank you to local poet Barry, who has now raised over £1,000 by writing and selling his own books in memory of his mum, Maureen. 🌻💛

✨ Happy National Siblings Day! ✨

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible brothers and sisters who do so much to support a sibling living with a life-limiting illness. 💛

The daily life of a sibling of a child with a serious illness often centres on hospital visits, routines, and their sibling’s changing needs. They might take on extra responsibilities at home or step into caring roles at a young age - often putting their own feelings to one side.

That’s why at Dougie Mac, we make sure they’re supported too. From one-to-one time to fun trips in the school holidays, monthly group sessions, and special moments with their parents, we give them space to just be themselves, feel heard and have fun.

Every sibling deserves to feel seen, supported, and cared for. And thanks to your kindness, we can be there for them - whenever they need us. 🌻💛

Ready to take on an unforgettable challenge and raise money for an incredible cause? A charity skydive could be just the thing… 🪂

Here’s what Samantha from our Children’s Services had to say about her sky dive experience:
"I was really nervous getting into the harness and watching the safety briefing, but once I was in the plane my nerves disappeared. The clear blue skies and beautiful views made it one of the best things I’ve ever done — I’d absolutely do it again!
I chose to fundraise for the hospice because I work with the Children’s Care Team at Dougie Mac and see first-hand the incredible support provided to local families. If you’re thinking about doing a skydive, just do it — it’s exhilarating, freeing and an unforgettable way to raise money for charity."

Sign up for our charity skydive today and help us make a difference for local people in North Staffordshire. Visit our website to find out more! 👇

Huge thank you and congratulations to supporter David James who has smashed his fundraising target by organising a night of entertainment in memory of his brother-in-law, Malcolm (Curly) Degg. 🌻

David organised a ‘Concert for Curly’ in memory of Malcolm who died two years ago following a cancer diagnosis. The concert- at Baddeley Green Club - was held to raise funds for Dougie Mac, after Malcolm received our care. The event raised a massive £2,360 – smashing David’s original target of £1,000!

David said: “Malcolm was Baddeley Greener and played football for the local club team. He was also a musician who played for various groups in the area. The two groups who played at the event were friends of Malcolm’s and we had a brilliant turnout of 190 people. We had some generous donations to our raffle and sold 500 tickets!”

Thank you for your support Baddeley Green!

Writing a Will isn’t always easy to think about but it’s one of the most important things you can do. 💛

During Make a Will Month this May, local solicitors waive their fees to write a basic Will when you include a gift - such as money, a percentage of your estate, or an item of your possession - to the hospice in your Will.

Leave a legacy that helps provide comfort, dignity and support for local adults, young adults and children facing a life-limiting illness in North Staffordshire.

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.
