A group of cyclists have raised £2,145 for Springhill Hospice after completing a bike ride from Blackpool Tower to the Oxford Pub, Rochdale. Money was raised for the Hospice in memory of Christine Melia, who was treated so well at Springhill until she died last year. Her husband Steve has dedicated all of his spare time to fundraising for the Hospice.

This weekend, Charlotte Keating will be taking part in a parachute jump for the Hospice.

The Mother’s Day Tea event at the Tea Rooms is fully booked.
