Springhill Hospice

The Hospice will be officially opening their tea rooms at the new fundraising offices on 1 December. A gift shop will also be on site.

Anyone who wishes to donate raffle prizes, tombola prizes, bric-a-brac or home bake goods to the Hospice for their Christmas Fair can do so by taking items to the fundraising offices on Broad Lane.

The Hospice is preparing for their Santa Dawdle or Dash event which will take place on Sunday 14 December. Today (Friday 31 October), one lady signed 12 people up for the event. The Hospice is hoping to make the event bigger than last year.

Craig Madley who has completed six challenges in six months for the Hospice is visiting the fundraising team next week to talk about his fundraising. He has raised close to £6,000 for the Hospice.
