The annual Springhill Hospice Man of Rochdale Luncheon returned last month at Rochdale Golf Club after a two-year absence and raised a staggering £17,070 for the hospice.

Held on Friday 26 November, the event saw the most dedicated and inspiring men from Rochdale celebrated for their hard work, with over 30 local men nominated.

This year’s deserving winner was Lieutenant Commander Lawrence Scholes. Lawrence is known for his involvement with the sea cadets and has helped raise in excess of £300,000 to help fund them.

This year’s event was held in a new location, Rochdale Golf Club. The luncheon saw 200 guests enjoy a delicious four-course meal and were entertained by guest speaker, footballing legend, Jan Mølby.

Vicki Murray, Corporate and Partnerships Fundraiser from Springhill Hospice, said: "This year’s event was incredibly successful even in still quite difficult times. Rochdale Golf Club was a fantastic venue; it was full to capacity and the money raised will make a massive difference to Springhill Hospice.

"Many thanks to our sponsors, Jackson Jackson & Sons, Performance Doorset Solutions and Carlsberg Marston brewery and many congratulations to this year’s winner."
