Man of Rochdale nominations open

Man of Rochdale 2022 Dave Richardson with Mayor Ali Ahmed

Now is the time to make your nomination for the Man of Rochdale 2023.

Springhill Hospice’s prestigious Man of Rochdale Luncheon returns on Friday 24 November for an afternoon filled with incredible food, drink and entertainment, to honour the amazing achievements of the men of Rochdale.

Last year, Dave Richardson was crowned the Man of Rochdale, in recognition of his incredible work raising well over £300k for charities including Pendlebury Children’s Hospital, Parkinson’s funding, Kelly’s Campaign, Peace Aid Ukraine and many other worthy local causes.

Springhill Hospice is asking locals to nominate the unsung heroes in their communities, and shine a light on those who deserve recognition.

Any nomination for the Man of Rochdale award can only be considered if they meet the following criteria:

• They live in Rochdale and their reason for being nominated benefits the people of the Rochdale community.
• They must be over 18 years of age.
• They must not have received a Royal award (MBE, OBE, etc).
• They are considered an ‘unsung’ hero, giving their time and efforts for the good of the community and are not paid for this work.
• They cannot be considered if they are an employee of the hospice or a member of the Man of Rochdale Committee.

All nominations will be reviewed by the Man of Rochdale Committee, and those who have been shortlisted will be invited to attend the award luncheon, for an afternoon of entertainment and where the winner will be announced.
