Hospice Care Week 2020: A day in the life - Liz Maitland, Chaplain at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice
Meet Liz Maitland, Chaplain at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice. Liz has worked at the hospice for 11 years and provides spiritual support to patients, families, carers and staff. Here, she talks us through a day in her life.

“Dust off your bike and join us so that Manorlands can be there for more people like Chris.”
When she lost her husband Chris to cancer last October, Miki Mitchell was devastated. However, through it all, our Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice was there to provide support and now, one year on, Miki is supporting them – bringing with her 100 entrants to Manorlands’ annual Bronte Sportive cycling event.

“My experience of Sue Ryder’s care has taken away my fear of dying.”
As part of our summer appeal, Val Lunn recounts how, in the space of a year, she lost her husband and son – and how Sue Ryder supported her family through the toughest time of her life.

“Manorlands staff move heaven and earth to make sure patients and their families feel safe, cared for and at home.”
Our Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice provided Michelle Vann’s parents, Janis and Mark Lawson, with outreach nursing and respite care before they ended their lives at the hospice. This is their family’s story in Michelle’s own words.
