Rossendale businesses raise thousands to celebrate Hospice’s anniversary
A group of Rossendale businesses successfully raised over £5,680 for Rossendale Hospice to mark its thirtieth anniversary. This year Rossendale Hospice is celebrating 30 years of providing specialist care to patients, and their families, with life-limiting conditions. To commemorate the anniversary the hospice worked with the Rossendale Hospice Corporate Ambassadors Group and invited local companies to get involved in its inaugural Business Challenge. As well as competing for the most funds raised, the businesses were competing for five other award categories.
The Business Challenge, which launched earlier this year, was sponsored by local accountants and business advisers Cassons, part of the Baldwins Group, which has supported the charity for the past four years. The Business Challenge Awards ceremony was kindly hosted by Valley at Work as part of the Rossendale Business Awards. Firms who pledged to take part in the Business Challenge were given a £50 investment fund and 10 weeks to raise as much money as they could for the hospice, using their entrepreneurial and team building skills.
The results of the Rossendale Hospice Business Challenge were announced at the Rossendale Business Awards on Wednesday 14 November.
The winners were
• Snapper & Hack, also known as Liz Henson Photography and Catherine Smyth Media,
won the Rossendale Free Press Award which was the official Rossendale Business award for engagement in CSR
• Rossendales Ltd won the Investment Champion category for the most amount raised
• Snapper & Hack won the #RossHospice Award, sponsored by Big Tank Promotions, for their use of social media
• Chic Boutique Travel won the the Innovator Award, sponsored by Keenan’s Estate Agent because of the innovative use of travel themed fundraising events
• HD Signs won the Community Conqueror Award because of the way they used their wider contacts and networks to raise funds, including a raffle
• Ivory Beau won the Tiny but Mighty Business Award which went to sole trader Jodie Bulling who used her customers, friends and family to raise as much as she could.
Thanks again to the businesses who took park in the Business Challenge, and thanks to every person who bought raffle tickets and cakes, dressed down and attended events to raise money for the hospice.
** BOOGIE NIGHT EVENT CANCELLED ** due to unforeseen circumstances our Boogie Night event scheduled to be held tomorrow night has been cancelled. We send our sincere apologies to all who supported the event and bought costumes and tickets.
Our 2018 Inter School Penny Challenge has started and finishes Thursday 1st November. Children from thirty seven nursery, primary and secondary schools across the valley will take part in the six week challenge to try and fill their penny pinching house with as much loose change as they can.
At the end of the challenge, an army of Hospice volunteers collect the returned boxes from the schools and count the monies received. The winning nursery, primary and secondary school categories will each be presented with a trophy to keep for the year.
Where there’s a Will, there’s a way to raise vital funds for a local charity, thanks to Rossendale-based law firm Woodcocks Haworth and Nuttall Solicitors. The firm is waiving its Will-writing fees in return for donations to Rossendale Hospice, in support of the charity’s annual Make a Will Fortnight. The initiative coincides with World Alzheimer’s Month in September, which also underscores the need to have an updated Will in place to reduce the risks presented by incapacity in later life. Make a Will Fortnight runs from September 10-21. To book an appointment contact Stephen Parr or Berin Jones at WHN’s Haslingden office on 01706 213356, Catherine Hamilton in Rawtenstall on 01706 225621, or June Higgins at the firm’s Bacup office on 01706 874487.
A massive 'thank you' to the customers of Asda Rawtenstall who voted for the Hospice by placing their green tokens into one of the three nominated slots as part of the Green Token Giving Programme.
Laura, Community Life Champion at Asda brought in a winners cheque for £500. Thank you!
