As we prepare to open The Hospice Cup, we want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to Kris and the amazing team at Rossendale Men's Shed.

From the very beginning, they have played a huge part in helping bring our vision to life, designing and creating a beautiful coffee counter that will become the centrepiece of this exciting new venture. Their skill, creativity, hard work and generosity have been invaluable, and we simply couldn't have done it without them.

The Hospice Cup will be much more than a place to enjoy great coffee. It will be a welcoming community space that will help generate income to support the vital work of Rossendale Hospice. Knowing that it has been built through local partnership and community spirit makes it even more special.

Thank you to everyone at The Men's Shed for giving your time, expertise and enthusiasm to this project. You have helped create something that will benefit our patients, families, volunteers, staff and the wider community.

We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together and can't wait to welcome everyone through the doors to The Hospice Cup.

Community working together for community
