Richard Eden hosts regular table top sales outside his home in Padiham, from spring to summer, with all the proceeds donated to Rosemere Cancer Foundation. This season’s sales raised the grand total of £2,245, including a personal donation from Richard.
This brings the total raised since he began the sales seven years ago, after his partner James died, to £11,132. James and Richard ran a glassware, china and antiques business in Burnley.

Richard presented his 2023 donation to Rosemere at Padiham’s The Workshop, a new quirky coffee shop a 10 minute walk from his home in Fleetwood Road’s Riverside Mill.
Owners Sean and Bailey Routh are now supporting Rosemere by offering free use of the premises as a venue for fundraising coffee mornings and other small events.
