We are asking the Bolton business community to come together and join our Workplace Raise-a-thon doing what you can, anytime from 1st October - 31st December 2021, collectively helping us to raise £36,000 which will pay for inpatient care from one of our beautiful en-suite rooms for 3 months.

Kate and Stephen Roe from Roe & Co Residential Sales recently took on a Sky dive to raise an incredible £650 for Bolton Hospice and signed up to support us through our #500faces appeal.

UPDATE 2/9/2021: Thanks to your fantastic response to our request for new volunteers at The Old Bank Cafe, we are now able to open again on Sundays, starting this Sunday 5th September from 11am - 2pm. Thank you so much for all of your support and we can't wait to see you once again on Sundays for coffee, cake & a catch up.

Updated: 16th August 2021 During the current outbreak of Covid-19 we have had to restrict access to the hospice building for family members and friends of patients on the Inpatient Unit to ensure that our patients, staff and volunteers working within the Hospice are safe. We review our visiting restrictions on a regular basis and adjust them, depending on the national and/or local infection rates and guidance.

We were delighted to have a visit from one of our previous ward volunteers at the hospice, when Emily Clegg came to have her photo taken standing next to an old promotional banner featuring her as a hospice volunteer!

Our Bolton Hospice Retail Team is always looking for new faces to bring different skills and qualities into their team; no matter your circumstances and background there is a volunteer role to suit you.

Here we're shining a spotlight on some of the supporters who have recently taken on a challenge as proud members of Team Bolton Hospice.

The Old Bank Café in Astley Bridge re-opened on Monday 12th July and we were thrilled to welcome our customers and staff back!

To celebrate our 30th anniversary next year, we are looking for 30 stories from the heart about our hospice from 1992-2022 from patients, families, staff and volunteers. Telling your story helps us raise awareness of what the hospice does.

On Sunday 4th July these incredible Bolton Hospice supporters will be taking on this year’s Ironman UK here in our hometown to help raise vital funds for the hospice.

Thanks to recent funding from national charity Cash for Kids, our Education team have been able to put together memory boxes to help support bereaved children and teenagers.
