Bolton Hospice

#GivingTuesday has had a makeover here at Bolton Hospice this year! We're asking you browse our Amazon Wishlist, and see what you can buy to help us keep caring from the heart 💜 Lots of wonderful individual supporters have already gifted us cushions, throws, and lots (and lots!) of gemstones for our Creative Therapy room, but we think there are some generous #Bolton businesses who would love to get involved too! Perhaps you'd like to buy us a vacuum cleaner to help us keep our shops spick & span, and best placed to raise vital funds, or tables for patients to use in our Wellbeing Hub conservatory? Or even a deep fat fryer so we can keep on serving delicious treats to our loyal customers in The Old Bank Cafe? Whatever you're able to add to your basket for us, everyone here at Bolton Hospice will be so grateful! Browse our Wishlist here - https://lnkd.in/emUSBJB4

Wow, what a lovely surprise from Hardscape Products Ltd! 🚲 Last week we were thrilled to receive such a generous donation from Hardscape, a beautiful bike for us to use as a raffle prize and raise vital funds to care for our patients and their families 💜 "As a company rooted in the Bolton community , we are proud to support Bolton Hospice, an organisation that holds a special place in the hearts of so many. Their incredible work provides care and comfort during life’s most challenging times. To contribute to their efforts, we have donated a bike, which we hope will help raise vital funds for the hospice and make a meaningful difference to the lives of those they support." From everybody here at Bolton Hospice, thank you Hardscape!

What a lovely and heartfelt gesture from one of our patient's family's! Our team of doctors and nurses are so grateful for the lovely gifts they received as a thank you for the compassionate care they gave to this family's loved one 💜

Good old #ThrowbackThursday post anyone?! Today we're re-shining a light on Harwood Heating, who last year chose to use the money they would have spent on Christmas cards and stamps to support Bolton Hospice instead 💜 Could your #Bolton Business follow suit, and consider helping local families create lasting memories this Christmas, rather than posting cards to an endless list of contacts?

Our CEO, Leigh Vallance, was recently invited to join Annabel Tiffin on BBC North West Tonight's famous red sofa, to talk about how changed announced in last week's budget will affect hospices. Watch the full interview below to find out more about what the increased Employer National Insurance contributions mean for the hospice sector, and for us at Bolton Hospice 👇

With Christmas just around the corner we are preparing for our full calendar of events and activities in order to raise funds for Bolton Hospice. We therefore are asking for donations which can be used in our many raffles and tombolas. Items such as sweets, chocolates, wine, fizz, and gift sets etc. would be much appreciated. If you can donate any items please do drop them in at either the main reception at the hospice, or our fundraising department at Giles House, both on Chorley New Road. THANK YOU!

It's #TrusteesWeek! We'd like to say the biggest thank you to our wonderful board of trustees, who volunteer their time and expertise to help Bolton Hospice be there for families when they need us most, now and in the future 💜 Our CEO, Deputy CEO, Senior Leadership Team, and all our staff and volunteers here at Bolton Hospice are incredibly grateful to our trustees for their leadership and the skills they bring to the hospice. Put simply, we couldn't do what we do without you! Thank you Judith Bromley, Grace Hopps, Paul Stansfield, Linda Duckworth, Dr. Helen Wall, Andrew Morgan, Claire Fern, Mike Worsley, Mohammed Iqbal Essa, Ian Savage, Adrian Cook, Sam Sherrington RN, DN, QN, MSc, FQNI #TrusteesWeek #Trustee

This Journalism Matters Week we're taking the opportunity to celebrate our partnership with The Bolton News! During 2023, The Bolton News and Bolton Hospice partnered to raise awareness of the funding challenges facing Bolton Hospice and to mobilise local community support. As well as setting up a ‘Save Bolton Hospice’ fundraising campaign, The Bolton News' regular sharing of stories from hospice staff, patients and families, continues to highlight the importance of hospice care in Bolton, and reinforce the urgency of the funding situation. We’re incredibly grateful to The Bolton News for their ongoing support and far-reaching awareness raising during a challenging period for the hospice sector 💜 You can read the full article about our partnership with The Bolton News here: https://lnkd.in/g2NE4B6S

We'd like to wish all those celebrating a very Happy Diwali, from all of us here at Bolton Hospice ✨ Yesterday, our special open day to celebrate the festival of lights with our Bolton Hospice community, and beyond, was a huge success! We were honoured to have the Mayor of Bolton join us for lots of festivities, including live cookery demonstrations by Sushma Snacks, Mehndi, traditional dancing, arts and crafts, and the chance to find out more about our Wellbeing Hub. We hope everyone who joined us had a wonderful time celebrating, and learning how Bolton Hospice is there for local people facing terminal and life-limiting illnesses 💜
