A WORCESTERSHIRE hospice is urging people to open their wallets to take part in its Part With a Pound day.
Fund-raisers from St Richard’s Hospice hope businesses, clubs and schools will make Friday, March 9, a day to remember by dressing up, dressing down or simply donating £1 to the charity.
Rachel Jones, fund-raiser at St Richard’s, said: “It’s entirely up to people what they would like to do for their £1 – it may be asking customers to donate, wearing themed clothing, eating cake, or wearing a funky tie.
"Just £1 on one day could make a huge difference to people with life threatening illnesses.”
One of the first organisations to pledge its support is The Malvern, a hotel, spa, healthclub and restaurant in Grovewood Road, Malvern.
Staff will be entered into a raffle to win an extra day’s holiday and customers will have the chance to win a facial.
Part With a Pound day is sponsored by ClarkeWood Consulting, Copenhagen Street, Worcester.
