Remember your loved ones with a beautiful metal rose that you can keep forever. You are also welcome to join us in celebration of their lives at our special event in 2027.

Rose to Remember

Our annual Rose to Remember campaign invites people to celebrate and honour their loved ones with a beautiful metal rose. The community is then invited to a touching event at our Hospice, where people can view the roses and remember those they have loved and lost.

If you still need to collect your 2026 rose, please visit our reception are between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, and our friendly team can help.

Rose to Remember raises over £25,000!

Our 2026 event was held on Sunday 28 June in our newly transformed gardens and included stunning performances from Laura Mac and Failsworth Community Pop Choir.

We were thrilled to welcome the newly appointed Youth Mayor of Oldham, Hassan Ali Jabbar, as well as familiar faces of people whose loved ones received care from our Hospice. Guests enjoyed our very first afternoon tea, and children explored our brand-new play area. Plus there was a small selection of stalls to browse, including our beloved Kershaw’s Krafties.

Thanks to the support of our community, our Rose to Remember 2026 campaign raised over £25,000 for patient care. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who bought a rose, made a donation or attended our event – you have made such a difference.
