We help launch fundraising campaign for new Bury hospice

TV celebrities launched a fundraising campaign to raise £2.5 million to build a bigger and better hospice in Bury.

Lisa Riley (of Fat Friends, Emmerdale and You've Been Framed - pictured), Noreen Kershaw (stage actress and ex of Life on Mars, Director of Shameless and Coronation Street), Ben Thompson (Ryan Connor, Coronation Street) and Sam Aston (Chesney, Coronation Street) joined Bury Hospice staff and volunteers to formally launch the fundraising campaign.

The Hospice has been granted planning permission to build a new, £5 million state-of-the art facility at a new site in the town.

We co-ordinated the event as part of the PR campaign for the funding raising appeal. The launch received extensive coverage including pages one, two and three of the Bury Times, BBC Radio Manchester and Granada Reports.
