Thank you to the lovely members of the Fylde farming community, who came together to raise a fab £3,676 for us through an agricultural and country themed auction at Weeton Village Hall!
The packed event had Radio Lancashire’s countryside reporter Stephen Lowe as its compere and Bentham Auction Mart’s auctioneer Fred Spurgeon bringing down the gavel. A llama experience, meat hampers, a prize Christmas turkey and farm memorabilia were among the items that went under the hammer to raise this fantastic total! 🦙🥩🦃🚜
The auction was organised by Wharles crop farmer David Martin, whose annual Fylde Vintage, Steam and Farm Show has raised funds for us since 2018 - thanks so much for the continued support, David 🥰🙌

Thank you so much to #Blackburn dad and daughter team Mark and Kaitlin Haworth, who have raised a wonderful £2,310 through a 30-mile roller skating challenge 🤗🛼
The duo set themselves the challenge of skating 30 miles in continuous laps at @wiganrollerrink, which Mark, partner Chantelle, 17-year-old Blackburn College student Kaitlin and brother Ollie (14) are regular visitors of, for fun and family fitness.
In a three hour session, Kaitlin achieved their 30-mile target while Mark exceeded it by six miles. Cheering them on were friends plus Ollie and Chantelle, who is currently in a wheelchair after being diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical cancer a year ago.
Back in November last year, Chantelle (41) was told she had just three months to live without treatment but subsequent chemotherapy at the Royal Blackburn Hospital and a course of daily radiotherapy at the Rosemere Cancer Centre here at @lancshospitals, which Chantelle is part way through, has stopped her cancer from spreading, stabilising her condition and making her feel more well.
Chantelle said: “Mark and Kaitlin did brilliant. We are very grateful to everyone who sponsored and supported them.”
Among their sponsors were printer Mark’s employer, Clayton-le-Moors’ @surface_print_company, which match funded the donation he and Kaitlin raised. Roller rink pals Stephen Green and Summer Davis (17) also donated funds they raised skating to Mark and Kaitlin.
A huge thanks to everyone involved in raising these funds - they will help to make a real difference for local cancer care ❤🙏

Shared, wishing you all at Rosemere Cancer Foundation a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2024.

Here at Rosemere, we really couldn't raise the funds that we do for life-changing local cancer projects without the support of our wonderful volunteers, and we know that our friends and colleagues over at Baby Beat and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Charity feel the same! Our Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust volunteers make a real difference for patients and visitors throughout the Trust too ❤🙏
THANK YOU to everyone who gives up even a little bit of their time to support a cause close to their heart, whether it's a charity like us, your local NHS hospital, or any other not-for-profit or community initiative that needs a helping hand - the work you do is absolutely invaluable! 🤗Volunteers are an important part of our hospital community. From running the Hospital Radio, to meeting our patients and visitors when they arrive on our sites, giving time up time to support Rosemere Cancer Foundation Cafe, Chaplaincy support, Dementia volunteers, we even have volunteer Therapy dogs, who with help from their owners come in and visit our staff and patients to aid health and wellbeing. This is just a small flavour of all the good they do in our hospitals.
We have 384 volunteers registered with us and this includes Baby Beat, third party volunteers such as RVS, Families & Babies, Galloways, Action for the Blind and MacMillan.
Their contribution makes a real difference and we are forever thankful for their efforts.
Thank you!
