The Great Mancunian Lunch, an exclusive charity event created by Moya Cole Hospice, in partnership with the Taylor Lynn Corporation and hosted by Emma Neville, to raise funds for the new Moya Cole Hospice that took place this week!
Victoria Warehouse housed the lunch, which indulged guests with a delectable three-course meal, outstanding performances from musicians from Chetham’s School of Music to create an uplifting afternoon of creativity and entertainment.
The event was certainly the standout moment in the autumn calendar and those in attendance were part of something truly meaningful and magnificently Mancunian as they supported the future of Moya Cole Hospice with its new state-of-the-art building in Heald
Green.
The aim of the Great Mancunian Lunch was to fundraise for the Being You Centre at the new Moya Cole Hospice. Construction of the new hospice started in June of last year with the aim of opening in early 2026. A total of £40,000 was raised at the lunch thanks to all who supported the outing.
Host of the Great Mancunian Lunch, Emma Neville said the afternoon provided an opportunity to make an impact on the lives of the people of Manchester impacted by life-limiting illnesses.
“We have a chance to make a difference for those who are facing some of the toughest challenges of their lives, bringing them greater comfort, care and dignity.” Emma said.
“It was wonderful to welcome everyone to the event. By coming together at the lunch, we were able to raise funds to go towards a consultation room at the hospice that will provide a calm, comfortable, and welcoming place for counselling, complementary therapies,
and other wellbeing support for the people of Manchester and their families.”
Head of Fundraising and Capital Campaign at Moya Cole Hospice, Anne-Marie Wynne says the support of all those at the Great Mancunian Lunch is “vital” for the future of the hospice.
“On behalf of Moya Cole Hospice, I would like to send Emma Neville a massive thank you for hosting the event. We stand together with her in our commitment to championing the importance of both physical and emotional wellbeing, and we are so grateful for her
support to raise funds for our Being You Centre at our new hospice,” Anne-Marie said.
“Once again, the Taylor Lynn Corporation is supporting Moya Cole Hospice with the Great Mancunian Lunch. It is through their support in organising events that we at Moya Cole Hospice can fund the construction of our new building in Heald Green.”
