As Carers Week 2026 comes to an end, we are once again appreciating the vital contribution unpaid carers make, while also helping to build communities that make a real and lasting difference to the lives of carers everywhere.

Here at the hospice, we are proud to be able to support carers with essential tools and connections to help them stay well and keep caring for their loved ones safely and sustainably.

For more information on the support available to those caring for somebody within our service, check our website or get in touch with us.

Welcome back to Thank You Thursday… our favourite day of the week 💜

⭐ A huge thank you to Sarah and her amazing colleagues at Asda, who have once again gone above and beyond in memory of their friend and colleague Vanessa, who was cared for by the hospice. Their annual fundraising weekend - complete with a huge raffle and donation stations - raised an incredible £2,430 this year. Your continued dedication means the world to us, and we're so grateful you're planning to do it all again next year.

⭐ A massive well done to Andrew, who took on the Iron Man at the weekend to raise funds for the hospice. An extraordinary challenge and an extraordinary effort - thank you so much for your strength and determination.

⭐ Our heartfelt thanks to Renata from Utility Warehouse, whose referral scheme has already raised over £700 for the hospice. For anyone wanting to support us in a simple, ongoing way, switching your utility bills through Renata generates a referral donation for the hospice. You can find her link here: https://buff.ly/8CPldSV

⭐ A big thank you to the Family Time Team at Bolton Children's Services, who raised an amazing £2,030 in memory of their colleague Julie, who was cared for by the hospice. Your kindness, teamwork, and continued support make such a meaningful difference.

See you next week 👋
