Our lovely Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust colleague, Housekeeper Christine Ryan has been bringing a little Halloween spirit to the Ribblesdale Ward! 🎃🤗
She brightened the day for patients on the busy 24-bed oncology inpatient ward yesterday with a few refreshing sweet treats (no tricks!) in the form of fresh fruits, cakes and sweets with a Halloween twist.
🥰 Thanks so much for all you do for our patients and their families, Christine - and thank you too to our fabulous supporters. As well as large-scale, life-changing clinical projects, your kind donations can also help to fund smaller things like this - little things that can really raise the spirits when it`s most needed 🙏

Feeling spooky this weekend? 🦇🧛♂
We have just the challenge to pique your interest this Halloween - why not sign up for our 2027 Transylvania Trek! 🤩
The multi-day hike (which has been kindly sponsored by @leylandbedsandfurniture) will see our trekkers taking on winding woodland paths, crossing alpine grasslands, and scaling rugged mountain landscapes in the stunning Romanian countryside.
🏰 Ending at the iconic Bran Castle, you’ll gain a unique insight into local Romanian culture and discover the legend of Dracula as well as experiencing the dramatic Carpathian views – and you’ll be helping to raise crucial funds in support of life-changing local cancer projects too.
The trek takes place from the 2nd-8th October 2027. Might this be something you could sink your teeth into? 🧛♂️
Find out more or sign up now, at the link in our bio! ❤

📣 Calling all runners!
Need some incentive to keep on training through the cold autumn and winter months? We have charity places for May’s Great Manchester Run! 🙌🥇
Tens of thousands of runners take to the streets of Manchester for this sell-out event every year – and you could be one of them. The route takes in some of the city’s iconic landmarks, and the whole city takes on a real party atmosphere!
We have 10k and half marathon places available for the event on May 23rd, 2027. We’re just asking for a £25 registration fee, and we ask that our runners strive to raise a minimum of £150 in sponsorship for a 10k charity place, or £300 for a half marathon place, to help us continue to support life-changing local cancer projects 🙏
If you’re interested in running for us to help raise crucial charity funds, please get in touch! Just email us at rosemere@lthtr.nhs.uk and we’ll send you all the information you need ❤

A huge thank you to all involved in the charity football tournament earlier this year at @lancastercity.fc which raised a fantastic £1,300 for us! ❤🙌
The competition, for young players aged 16+ from the Lancaster, Heysham and Morecambe areas, was organised by a trio of Lancaster City coaches - Under-23s coach Darren “Macca” McDermott, Under-13s coach Alan “Ginner” Tyson and first team assistant manager Gav Clark.
The trio made the tournament a fundraising event in memory of Darren’s wife Katie, who underwent treatment for secondary breast cancer at the Rosemere Cancer Centre here at @lancshospitals. Katie sadly passed away last New Year’s Eve.
Darren, Alan (whose wife Michelle is also currently a patient at the regional cancer centre where she is undergoing treatment for melanoma) and Gav are now planning on making the tournament a yearly event, with 2027’s competition again supporting us.
They are also kindly making Lancaster City’s annual festive bottle donation a collection for us for the second successive year! Last year, the beer, wine, and spirit bottles the teams collected raised a fab £342 in a festive bottle tombola - we’ll be planning to do the same again this Christmas 🍾❤
Thanks so much to all involved in both the tournament and the bottle collection - we hugely appreciate the kind support! 🙏
