Rossendale Hospice is a charity that aims to improve the quality of life of our patients, through expert nursing care, compassion, understanding, emotional and psychological support.
We care for people in Rossendale who have a life-limiting illness and we always remember that you are a person and not just a patient.
All our services involve our patients and their carers and families in their future care choices and we work in partnership with patients’ GPs and community teams to ensure the highest level of care.
The Hospice is located on the 2nd floor of the Rossendale Primary Health Centre on Bacup Road in Rawtenstall.
Rossendale Hospice has teamed up with Rossendale Radio to share some love across the Valley’s airwaves this Valentine’s Day. Rossendale Radio will host a Valentine’s Day special on 14th February 2021 between 1pm and 5pm. In return for a £10 donation, anyone can dedicate a song, along with a special message which will be aired live on Valentine’s Day. People may choose to make a dedication to their loved ones, or a friend or family member to let them know how much they are appreciated.
Our 2020 Inter-schools Penny Pinching Challenge started on Friday 14th October and finished on Friday 27th November. Twenty four of our Valley preschools, nurseries, primary and secondary schools took part in the six week challenge to try and fill their penny boxes with as much loose change as they could. Here are the winners:
Cherry Tree Pre School
Cribden House School
Haslingden High School
