With over £13,000 raised to support patient care at Dr Kershaw's, our Rose to Remember event proved to be a great success. We were delighted with the turnout, which saw over 300 members of the local community visit our Hospice to support us and attend a short celebrant service.

Thank you so much to every single one of you who supported our Appeal and attended our event!

It was so nice to see the Hospice open to our community, and with the sunshine out the event had such a lovely atmosphere. Everyone was happy, smiling and enjoyed the day. We had Dr Kershaw's Hospice Choir performing, our Hospice Gin on sale, refreshments in Café K, a raffle and some stalls to peruse! We hope those of you who were able to make the event enjoyed it!

A huge thank you to our volunteers who supported at the event, to Darren and the team at Co-op for their dedicated support with the appeal and event, G & J Logistics for their beautiful pink roses, Hill Johnstone Wealth Management and Nat West for the brilliant corporate volunteers, Kershaw's Krafties for their fantastic craft stall, Dr Kershaw's Choir for their amazing harmonies, Brian Clarke Academy Choir, Celebrant Roger Fielding, and The Mayor of Oldham, Zahid Chauhan. We couldn't do it without you!

We will be holding Rose to Remember again in 2025, watch this space for the confirmed date!

Each year, our roses are a collectable item, in 2023 the roses were yellow, in 2024 they were pink. Rose to Remember 2025 will see beautiful, metal roses of a different colour planted in our gardens.
