A WORCESTER charity is encouraging people to slap on some red lippy and take a selfie.

St Richard’s Hospice has signed up to the Kiss-May campaign, calling on people to take quirky selfies wearing red lipstick or make lipstick marks on someone’s cheek – with their permission of course – and post them on social media using the hashtag #KissMay along with a donation.

The charity’s community fundraiser Jodi Brandwood said the campaign was “a new and fun way to support your local hospice”.

“St Richard’s will receive a share of the donations received during the campaign, which is being organised by the Care2Save Charitable Trust,” she said.

To donate to the campaign text Kiss29 £2 to 70070. Texts cost £2 plus standard message rate.
