If you have any boxes of chocolates and Christmas treats and you don’t want them tempting you to break your New Year diet, then you can help Springhill Hospice by donating any unwanted treats or gifts as part of the Christmas Fundraising Appeal.

Donations can be dropped off at one of the Hospice charity shops, at the Hospice reception or at the Springhill Tea Room and Gift Shop.

The Charity shops are located at:

  • Oldham Road: 445 Oldham Road, Rochdale, OL16 4SZ 
  • Littleborough: 22 Hare Hill Road, Littleborough, OL15 9BA 
  • Yorkshire Street: 136 Yorkshire Street, Rochdale, OL16 1LD
  • Whitworth: 543 Market Street, Whitworth, OL12 8QW 
  • Middleton: 18-20 Wood Street, Middleton, M24 5TF 
  • Heywood: 3 Market Street, Heywood, OL10 1HT

Andrew Nutter and his team at Nutters restaurant raised £500 after they made a gingerbread creation over the festive period.

Rob Kivington, along with his friends Helen and Stuart, took part in the Istanbul Marathon. This was no ordinary 26 miles as the race started on one side of the Bosporus in Asia and finished on the other side of the river in Europe. This meant two continents in one day. Rob, Helen and Stuart battled soaring temperatures and raised £600 for the Hospice.

Rochdale’s Strictly event on Saturday 20 February at Rochdale Town Hall will be raising money for the Hospice as part of the Mayors Charity appeal.
