Market makes “grand” donation to hospice

Generous shoppers and traders on Bury Market have raised £1,000 in donations for Bury Hospice.

It was smiles all round as Michelle King, community fundraiser for the hospice, received a cheque from Tony Hall, proprietor of Tony’s Cards on Georgiana Block, a card and gift stall on the award-winning market. 

The new £5 million hospice, which recently opened its doors in Rochdale Old Road, has been mainly funded by donations and fund-raising events, with only a tenth of costs being provided by government.
