The Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust was set up as a direct response to the needs of local people living with cancer. The experiences of General Practitioners, Macmillan nurses and hospital staff identified the need for a facility for the care and support of those with life-threatening illnesses in North Liverpool. The Day Hospice was opened in 1996, the Out-Patient Unit in 2005,
In 2006, we launched a Capital Appeal to raise the £2.37 million needed to build a 15 bedded In-Patient unit as an extension to our existing building.

The people of Merseyside responded, donations, grants and equipment flooded into the Capital Appeal office and on June 6th 2009, Woodlands' Inpatient unit began accepting its first patients.
