Thank you Wendy, Sara and team - your band night for dementia was a rocking success! 🎸🎶

Wendy Parker and Sara Singleton recently planned and pulled off a charity rock night at the incredible Chantry Brewery to raise money for our Dementia Appeal.

The duo put on a rock night to remember all for a fantastic cause, with all ticket sales supporting the appeal, RockinSomnia wowing the crowd with an unforgettable live performance and a brilliant charity raffle on the night.

🎙 The power of rock music raised an absolutely huge £1,320.76 on the night! 🎙

Thank you so much Wendy, Sara, RockinSomnia, Chantry Brewery and everyone who helped make this event a rocking success! 🫶 We cannot thank you enough for your continued support, and the funds raised will make a big difference in the Rotherham community for those living with dementia and their families.

🎄We’re absolutely delighted to have been chosen as a charity partner for the 2026 Delivering Joy campaign with Dunelm Rotherham | Community Support ✨

We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Dunelm for their continued support and for helping to bring Christmas joy to patients spending the festive season in hospital. ❤️

These gifts really do bring so many smiles to patients staying in hospital over Christmas, some of who have no family or friends to celebrate with. These gifts are also delivered to patients in our Rotherham community cared for by our brilliant community nursing team. 👩‍⚕️

Want to help spread some Christmas joy? 🎁 We’re welcoming donations of gifts and presents to brighten Christmas for patients in hospital.

If you'd like to get involved, you can pick up a gift tag from Dunelm Rotherham's tree in their entrance and drop off your gifts in store! 🏷

We were thrilled to see the lovely Lynn from Montgomery Hall Theatre this week following their static bike ride challenge at the theatre to raise money for their local NHS charity.🚴💙

Lynn Cadman, Chair of Montgomery Hall Theatre organised the fundraiser to raise money following her sister’s recent surgery at the The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust.

Following the exceptional care Lynn's sister, Pat received from staff at the Trust, the team wanted to raise money as a thank you, and to support others in need of NHS care in the future.

We’d like to say a big thank you to the team for raising an amazing £300 which will support the Scarbrough Suite at Rotherham Hospital.

We are so thankful to our wonderful event sponsors Bartholomew and Sons Funeral Directors - thank you for helping to make our Autumn Memory Walk 2026 so special ❤️

🍂❤️ AUTUMN MEMORY WALK 2026 ❤️🍂

What a wonderful morning we had on Sunday at the Autumn Memory Walk.

Bartholomew & Sons were incredibly proud to sponsor this year’s walk, supporting Rotherham Hospital & Community Charity and Barnsley Hospital Charity.

Members of the team from Bartholomew & Sons and Clarksons Memorials, along with their family, came together to take part and walk in memory of loved ones who are no longer with us. 🕊️❤️

It was a lovely morning of remembering, reflecting and celebrating those special people, while supporting two fantastic local charities that mean so much to our community.

And, of course, a few four-legged friends joined us too! 🐾🍂

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day so special. ❤️
