Raising money for a great local cause

Most of us who live in the Burnley and Pendle area will at some point have been grateful for the quality of care provided for loved ones by Pendleside Hospice.Since the Hospice was opened in 1997, thousands of local people have continued to benefit from the support of Pendleside Hospice. Through continued fundraising they now offer day therapy, specialist physiotherapy, complementary therapies, inpatient care, 24/7 hospice at home, counselling, bereavement support and spiritual care.Currently, the Hospice costs £3.8 million per year to run and the majority of the funds which allow them to continue to carry out their exceptional work is raised locally.That is why we were delighted to be raising money for such a fantastic cause.
