SHOPPERS who have trouble finding a £1 coin for a supermarket trolley can cash in on a new fundraising gimmick.

Rossendale Hospice is selling specially designed £1 holders which attach to key rings.

Holders, featuring a yellow smiley face are on sale in local shops and said to be selling like hot cakes.

Steve Taylor, of Steve's Greengrocers, Bacup Road, said: "I can't believe how popular they have been. I started selling them a couple of days ago and they have nearly all gone.

"I started off with 100 and have ordered another batch. They are a brilliant idea and everyone who comes into the shop is asking about them."

Holders sell for £1 with all proceeds going to the hospice.
