The Made in Bury Ladies Business Brunch team have organised a lovely event for ‘ladies who lunch’, at The Clarence on Silver Street in Bury on Friday 14th September. Tickets are £40 for a mouth-watering three-course lunch, entertainment, the opportunity to win some fab centre piece prizes and a goody bag for you to take home. Tickets have been in great demand and there are only seven left, so you will need to be quick if you don’t want to miss out. Contact Debi Felone for tickets debi@madeinbury.co.uk

Congratulations to our 'Racing Budgie' and member of our nursing team, Kay Byrne, who successfully completed the Fleetwood Half Marathon on Sunday. Not only did she complete it, she got a PB! Well done Kay, you were brilliant as always, we're so proud of you! Woop woop!!
Kay's inspiration comes from the patients and families she has cared for, here at the hospice and she has two more events this year, with the Heaton Park Half Marathon and the Bury 10k Run still to come. It would mean a lot to Kay if you would read her story and sponsor her here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ka y-byrne6

Actually, it’s more of a fun weekend as there are two whole days of some very funny and quirky events, including the stocks, leg waxing, mystery stunts (they remain a mystery because we don’t know what they are, but knowing Tesco, they’ll be great fun), and a sponsored silence by a member of staff who is a complete chatterbox. Our challenge to you is to make her speak! Tesco, Woodfields Retail Park, Sat/Sun 1st and 2nd September.

We're starting to gear up for Bury Hospice Care Month, which as all our supporters know, is always in October. We want everyone to know about BHCM and local shops can help us to raise a massive amount of awareness by sticking one of these in their windows. Hands up, who wants one? o/

Back for its 11th year, this stalwart of the community fundraising calendar just gets better and better. Heading towards £150,000 raised for Bury Hospice, this vibrant event is a must for any music lover with a wide range of venues, both indoor and outdoor and a heady mix of musical styles from more than 140 talented artists and bands, giving up their time and talent for free, as they always do. Buy a wristband for £7 and you can visit any venue between midday and midnight. https://www.facebook.com/BuryGlaston/
