Manorlands is a Sue Ryder hospice, based in West Yorkshire. We’re here for people aged 18 and over living with conditions like cancer, heart failure and lung disease. We offer a range of support, from inpatient care in our 16-bed hospice to day services which help people stay at home longer and offer respite to carers. Our care is available to people living in Craven, Airedale, and Wharfedale as well as central, northern and western areas of Bradford.
Manorlands Hospice is located in the lovely village of Oxenhope. The Bronte Buses B1 and B2 stop nearby, however due to shifts patterns; it is recommended you have your own transport to get to and from work.
At Sue Ryder not only do we treat more conditions than any other UK charity in our hospices, neurological care centres and out in the community; we also campaign to improve the lives of people living with them.
