Fundraising event for 2015 have already made a sensational start with the
Hospice to Hospice Walk, Go Green and our Traditional Country Fete making
much needed funds for the Hospice. The Hospice to Hospice Walk again broke
attendance records with over 300 Springhill strollers, walking the 7.25 miles
circular route calling in at Dr Kershaw's Hospice in Oldham.

darker, Springhill are making sure that every part of the community can enjoy
fundraising with two lovely Hospice based events.
