Springhill Hospice Appeal

CAN You Spare A Minute? That's what we are asking Observer readers over the course of the year. To tie in with 25 years of fundraising for Springhill Hospice, we have launched an appeal which we hope will raise £75,000. This special section carries news about the fundraising and the hospice throughout the appeal. You can make a donation by going to www.justgiving.com/rochdaleobserver.
