Cheshire Oaks announces new Charity Partnership

The Designer Outlet has partnered with The Hospice of The Good Shepherd, as part of their commitment to supporting local communities.

The Hospice of The Good Shepherd, located in Cheshire West, Chester, Ellesmere Port, and Deeside, is a specialist palliative and end-of-life care provider. They believe that everyone should have access to excellent end-of-life care and support, a vision that resonates with McArthurGlen’s values. 

The charity’s specialist team of medical and nursing staff deliver end of life care to patients and support their families, carers and friends. The services offered by the Hospice are varied across several disciplines and reflect the diverse nature of their care and support.  

During the past year the Hospice has provided almost 300 in-patient stays and had over 1,000 Day Therapy attendances. There were also over 800 medical consultations in Hospice Out-Patients. The Hospice offers social, psychological and spiritual support from our social workers and spiritual care team. Together with the support offered by their bereavement team, almost 1,000 families benefited from these services. 

Kenny Murray, General Manager at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks, commented on the new partnership:

“We are delighted to collaborate with The Hospice of The Good Shepherd and raise vital funds to support their work. Their dedication to providing quality care and support to patients and their families aligns perfectly with our own commitment to making a positive impact in our community.” 

Throughout the year, Cheshire Oaks will collaborate with The Hospice of The Good Shepherd on various fundraising events, like the Foam Blast and Dog Walk coming up in a couple of weeks. 

Additionally, lost property will be donated to the charity’s shops, and sponsorship events will be organised. Collection tins will also be placed throughout the Centre to raise funds and awareness for volunteer roles.

About The Hospice of The Good Shepherd:

We believe that everyone deserves the best quality of life and the best quality end of life care and the earlier we are involved in this care the better. We deliver our care free of charge, for the communities of Cheshire West, Chester, Ellesmere Port and Deeside. 

Our dedicated team of staff and healthcare professionals aim to meet the unique physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of those with a life-limiting illness, and to help maintain their dignity. We provide specialist palliative care for people with cancer and non-cancer life-limiting illnesses, at all stages of their illness. 

We’re not just focused on our patients either. We recognise that it’s also a difficult time for relatives, carers and friends and we provide support for them too. 

Our care and support is provided free of charge at the point of delivery.  To fund this vital care, we rely on the generosity of our local communities to continue the crucial work of the Hospice.
