At Bloom Music Community CIC, we’re all about supporting our local community and we’re always very grateful when people donate at our events. In September, it’s our turn to give back and we will be putting our best feet forward to participate in Springhill Hospice’s 3 Reservoir Ramble, raising money to support the fantastic work that the hospice does to offer specialist palliative care to patients and their loved ones from diagnosis to end of life.

We’re excited to be taking part in the Rochdale Co-operative Fair on 23rd May, which is taking place in and around the recently restored Broadfield Park Slopes and the Town Hall. The event will celebrate the co-operative movement, featuring 20 stalls where you can learn about the history of the movement and pick up unique treats from the fairtrade market.
