Salford's new ceremonial mayor determined to 'give back' to hospice

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The new ceremonial mayor of Salford has nominated to support a charity close to her heart. Councillor Gina Reynolds selected St Ann's Hospice as her chosen charity, where the partnership will start with a committee meeting on 14 June to start planning fundraising events for the upcoming months.

The charity, which provides specialist care for people impacted by life-limiting illnesses, including patients, families and loved ones, helped support Gina's mum and auntie who both passed peacefully at St Ann's Hospice.

Gina said: ‘’This wonderful charity is close to my heart and very personal to me. Sadly, both my mum and auntie passed away peacefully at St Ann’s Hospice.

They received excellent end-of-life care and I was provided with fantastic support from the caring staff. I can’t thank them enough and wanted to give something back.’’ On 21 May, members of St Ann's Hospice met the ceremonial mayor during the Civic Sunday Parade and Service - starting at the Town Hall, Civic Centre and headed towards St Peter’s Church in Swinton - to celebrate the ceremonial event.
