Springhill Hospice Fundraiser

Military Veterans Charity Football Match Raises over £3100 in aid of Springhill Hospice

We were absolutely delighted to announce a new venue and date for the fundraising football match between Rochdale Military Veterans AFC and their Oldham Athletic A.F.C. counterparts.

The match was held at Rochdale Mayfield ARLFC on 5 June with a kick off at 1500hrs. We were pleased that the social club was open afterwards and a number of local businesses donated prizes and funds to support the inspirational and aspirational facility and organisation that is Springhill Hospice.

Young Jack Chadwick was the mascot for the day after his amazing charity efforts for the SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity and we were joined by the Mayor of Rochdale at the event.

Bluebird Care Rochdale are proud to be the main shirt sponsors for the Rochdale Military Veterans football team.  As we hopefully move towards the new normal it is hoped this fixture gives some hope that football can continue to bring communities together, especially in support of the inspirational and aspirational Springhill Hospice.  

A number of Military Veterans took part in a Charity Football Match at Rochdale Mayfield sports complex where a crowd over approximately 300 spectators saw the home side come out 6-3 winners.  Once all monies were collected the Military Veterans had raised over £3100 for this very worthy cause that a number of the group had personal experiences of.  An aspirational and inspirational organisation.
