'Springy', the Springhill Hospice mascot can be purchased in the Rochdale Online Department Store

The Hospice to Hospice walk has been described as “fantastic” by the fundraising team. The annual walk saw over 300 walkers turn out to support the Hospice.

Will week takes place between Monday 18 May and Friday 22 May. The Hospice has a list of solicitors who will put a will together for you, but will waive their fee if you give a donation to Springhill Hospice in your will.

This year the Hospice has received support from people taking part in this year’s Manchester Marathon. So far 40 individual Hospice supporters have pledged their support for the Hospice by taking part in the run.

David Golden will be setting off on his fundraising adventure from Littleborough to John O’Groats on Monday 4 May.

Joan Davies was crowned this year’s Woman of Rochdale at a special luncheon last Friday (24 April). Joan was given the award for her continued work with young people across the borough.
