🌻 Volunteers Needed! 🌻

Rossendale Hospice is looking for volunteers to support our 2026 Sunflower Memories campaign.

Each lamppost sunflower dedication carries precious memories of loved ones no longer with us. With your help, we can spread these beautiful tributes across the valley and honour those we hold dear.

Volunteer roles include helping to put up and take down sunflowers throughout June and July, scheduled around your availability.

If you’d like to be part of this heartfelt campaign and help bring the community together in remembrance, we would love to hear from you! 💛

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mangham Electrical Services, who generously covered the cost of our recent vehicle wrap.

Our newly wrapped van is a wonderful way to raise awareness for Rossendale Hospice, and we couldn’t be happier with how it looks.

Keep an eye out..! Have you spotted our van around Rossendale yet? 🤩

Representatives from Rossendale Hospice were honoured to attend Dorothy’s funeral to pay their respects and celebrate the life of someone whose vision and commitment helped make the hospice what it is today.

Dorothy was a much-loved and respected figure within the Rossendale community. In 1986, alongside fellow members of Soroptimist International, she helped establish Rossendale Hospice to provide free, compassionate care for those living with terminal illness. From volunteering in the hospice’s earliest days and helping manage its day-to-day running, to supporting efforts to secure vital funding as it grew, Dorothy’s dedication helped lay the foundations for the care we continue to provide today.

Her kindness, determination and community spirit touched countless lives, and her legacy will live on through every patient and family we support.

Community is at the heart of everything we do at Rossendale Hospice 💙

From the families we support, to the volunteers who give their time, the fundraisers who go the extra mile, our supporters, and the local businesses and schools who stand beside us- our work simply wouldn’t be possible without our community.

Every donation, every shared post, every event attended and every hour volunteered helps us continue providing compassionate care to people across Rossendale when they need it most.

We are proud to be part of such a kind, generous and supportive community. Together, we are making a real difference, today and every day. 💙

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Judy Robbins, who has recently been delivering a series of exercise classes for patients attending our wellbeing services at Rossendale Hospice.

These sessions have created a fun, uplifting environment where patients, staff and volunteers could come together, get moving, and enjoy something a little different from their usual routine. 💙

We’re so grateful for Judy’s time, energy and enthusiasm in helping to support wellbeing across our hospice community.

That amount funds the equivalent of a full day of nursing care, helping us support families across Rossendale when they need us most.
