The Santa Dawdle or Dash is set to have raised a huge amount of money for the Hospice.

A new cook will be starting at the Tea Room next week. With this, the Hospice is hoping to reveal a lunch menu and new opening times which will hopefully
include weekend opening times.

The new Middleton shop, located on Wood Street, will open on Saturday 14 February. The current shop in Middleton will become the Hospice furniture shop.

Bamford Academy buddies Emily Sandison and Sarah Gore have raised £60 for the Hospice. The girls made cards and bead candy cane decorations to sell at their school fair.

The Hospice will be holding a Valentine’s tombola on Friday 13 February. The fundraising team has received donations from people who have received unwanted Christmas presents. If anyone wants to donate anything to the Hospice for the tombola, then the doors of the Hospice are always open.
