MAY I thank all those people who helped to make the Bury Hospice town centre collection a success on Saturday. Thanks to all those who helped with the collection and to all the people who gave so very generously.

I am pleased to be able to report that we raised the grand total of £1,796. This money will, like all the money we collect, be used to make sure that Bury Hospice continues to provide the best possible care for our patients and their families both through the in-patient services and the day care services. Without the generous support of local businesses, local organisations and local people we would never succeed.

On behalf of all associated with the Bury Hospice many thanks for this continued support.

COLIN CAFFREY, chairman.
