A TOTAL of £2,920 has been raised for Pendleside Hospice in memory of local man William Maclean.

Bill’s wife Pauline organised a charity ball at the Higher Trapp Hotel, Simonstone, last December on what would have been Bill’s 50th birthday. Further funds were raised at the annual IGEM dinner.

Bill was chairman of IGEM’s North West section and donations were made in his memory.
