MORE than 50 businesses, individuals and organisations across Worcestershire joined St Richard’s Hospice’s Part with a Pound Day, helping to raise thousands of pounds for the Worcester-based charity.
These include Wychavon and Malvern Hills district councils, Worcester City Council, staff at Tesco Warndon in Worcester, Worcester Lakeland and House of Fraser, Sainsbury’s in St John’s, Worcester, solicitors HallmarkHulme, city businesses Sienna X and Bushwackers and all the pupils at the Chantry High School in Martley.
St Richard’s corporate fund-raiser Rachel Jones said: “We were thrilled with how so many people got into the spirit of the day.
“There were lots of easy things that firms came up with to encourage staff and customers to Part with a Pound including raffles, cake selling, dressing up and dressing down on the day.
“Thanks to everyone who took part we are hoping to have raised more than £5,000 towards our work at the hospice caring for adults with life-threatening illnesses and supporting their families.”
