Springy ready for the Springhill Hospice Pyjama Parade

The fundraising team are finishing off transforming the Craven Heifer which will now be known as Springhill Hospice at the Craven Heifer. The painters are currently in and the kitchen is almost fitted.

The Hospice will be at the Dragon Boat Race tomorrow (Saturday 5 July) at Hollingworth Lake. Organised by the Round Table, the Hospice will have a big tombola with Springy the Hospice frog also making an appearance.

Saturday (5 July) night will see the second ‘Chaddy Ball’ take place. Last year over £10,000 was raised for the Hospice in memory of Andrew Chadwick. Held at the Midland Hotel in Manchester the night will include a champagne reception with a three course meal. Money raised from the event will go to Springhill Hospice and The Brain Tumour Charity.
