We had a magical visitor last week... Connie, the adorable little witch, came by to present us with a cheque for £600! She looked so excited as we snapped her picture with it!

This incredible amount was raised during the Keighley Cup 2000, a fun-filled cricket tournament at Keighley Cricket Club in July. The matches featured Oxenhope vs. Steeton and Gargrave vs. Crossflatts, leading up to an exciting final! A big shoutout to Keighley Cricket Club for being the matchball sponsor. Thank you to everyone involved 💙

A big thank you to Grassington United Football Club, who held a charity football match in memory of Joe Quigley and raised over £2,429 for our care, and the same sum again for Cancer Research UK.

Joe loved nothing more than watching Grassington United, whether cheering on his own children or the many friends he made through the club over the years.

In his memory, Craig and his former teammates decided to dust off their football boots, despite many having hung them up years ago, and organised a charity football match against fellow local team Silsden AFC.

The event was a huge success, made possible by the generosity of the sponsors, raffle prize donors and the more than 500 people who attended.

The funds raised are a wonderful tribute to Joe. A huge thank you to everyone involved.💙

We're incredibly grateful to Rotherwood Recruitment, who raised £565 for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice as part of their recent 50th anniversary celebrations!

The team marked their milestone with a fantastic evening at East Riddlesden Hall, featuring live music, a DJ, pizzas, dancing and a fun casino fundraiser. Guests put their luck to the test at the casino tables, with prizes including bottles of prosecco, all while raising vital funds to support Sue Ryder.

Congratulations on 50 years in business, and thank you for making your celebrations count for local people who need us most. 💙

We want to say a huge thank you to Skipton Together FC for their incredible efforts in raising £2,100 through two recent charity football matches! 🙏

The first match in July not only celebrated their first anniversary but also showcased the strong spirit of our local football community, culminating in a fantastic tournament where Skipton Together FC emerged victorious! The friendly competition continued in September as they faced Bradford City Veterans. Although Bradford took the win this time, the camaraderie and support for our hospice mission were truly inspiring. Both matches brought the local football community together while raising vital funds for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice.

Your dedication and hard work help ensure we can continue providing the care and support our patients and their families need. Thank you to everyone involved for making a difference. 💙

Over 800 amazing people gathered for Sue Ryder Starlight Hike Worth Valley, raising over £80,000 to support people at the hardest times of their lives. ✨

Participants walked 5km or 10km to honour loved ones. Among those taking part in this year’s Starlight Hike at Worth Valley was Kevan Carling, from Cross Roads, who was determined to take part in memory of his wife Kat, despite breaking his leg in seven places just months before the event.

“The day itself was a mixture of emotions,” he said. His group was also struck by how many people had turned out to take part, and by the sense of togetherness among those walking. “The word ‘wow’ got used quite a lot. It felt like everyone was rooting for everyone else, and the experience was quite humbling. The amount of comments we received for taking part, dressing up, was just extraordinary. It seemed like one big happy family, all working towards a common goal.”

Huge thanks to our sponsors, Stirk Lambert & Co and Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Ltd, our wonderful volunteers, and everyone who took part! Every step made a difference, ensuring no one faces death or grief alone. 💙

Sarah McManus and daughters Drew-Danielle and Emmi-Louise are taking on a 10k experience at Sue Ryder's Starlight Hike Worth Valley. The family are walking in memory of much-loved grandparents Mary and Kevin McManus, while supporting Sarah's stepdad Alex Devlin, who is receiving support from Sue Ryder after a lung cancer diagnosis.

"The Starlight Hike Worth Valley is such a unique experience," Sarah said. "You really enjoy the walk side of it, the starting warm-up, the atmosphere, the people on the streets supporting. All of those elements combined make such a good community event for an ultra-special cause like Sue Ryder."

Kevin and Mary met in Keighley and raised their two sons locally. Sarah remembers them as a couple who loved their family, with Kevin particularly known for his love of Irish music, Irish wit and humour, while both grandparents adored their grandchildren.

Sarah said her family were "so grateful" to the Inpatient Unit at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice for the short time he spent receiving care there.

"It will be empowering to know we are raising funds for such a special charity. I'd encourage anyone to think about signing up to please join us."

The Sue Ryder Starlight Hike Worth Valley takes place on Saturday 3rd October 2026. Online entries will be open until Saturday morning, while people can sign up on the day at Oxenhope railway station between 6.00pm and 7.00pm.

A huge thank you to Tony, Cathy and everyone involved in the Classic Vehicle Gathering for another fantastic year of fundraising. 🚗

This year’s event has taken their incredible total raised for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice to £12,798.25!

We’re so grateful for the continued support of everyone involved, helping us be there for local people and families when they need us most.

Tony said: “Although the main focus of the day is on the vehicles, the real purpose of the event is to raise funds for Manorlands, and that’s what motivates Cathy and me to keep the gathering going year after year. We’re so grateful to everyone who comes along, supports the event and helps us make a difference.” 💙
