THE ARTS SOCIETY MACCLESFIELD IN ACTION AT EAST CHESHIRE HOSPICE

The ‘Patients Supporting Patients’ project, led by The Arts Society Macclesfield, is making a real and lasting difference to East Cheshire Hospice, raising valuable funds while celebrating the creativity of its patients.

At the heart of the initiative are beautiful coasters featuring delicate watercolour paintings created by patients attending the Hospice’s Sunflower Centre. Each design reflects not only artistic talent but also the therapeutic value of creative expression.

Production costs were generously covered by The Arts Society’s Patricia Fay Memorial Fund, following a successful application by Amanda Charlesworth, the Society’s Arts Volunteering representative. This thoughtful support means that every pound raised from sales goes directly to the Hospice.

The Society has also been pleased to support the Sunflower Centre’s art therapy sessions by providing materials, helping patients continue to explore and express themselves through art.

So far, the project has raised an impressive £800 — a wonderful example of how The Arts Society Macclesfield’s initiative has brought together creativity, compassion and community to make a meaningful impact.
