A FUND-RAISING calendar in support of Worcestershire hospices is now on sale.

More than 1,500 images from 330 photographers were submitted to win a place in the calendar after a competition by Webbs Garden Centre.

Sales of the 2012 calendar will raise funds for St Richard’s Hospice and Acorns Children’s Hospice in Worcester and Primrose Hospice in Bromsgrove.

Each hospice will be given hundreds of the colourful calendars to raise cash for their work with patients and families with life-limiting illnesses.

Webbs executive chairman Ed Webb said: “Once again there were lots of fantastic images.We had a superb range to choose from which beautifully capture the essence of the changing seasons. The calendar is now a regular fixture and I’m sure will be very popular with our customers as well as benefiting our wonderful local hospices.”

Tricia Cavell, fund-raising director at St Richard’s Hospice, said: “Webbs have been fantastic supporters of the hospice for many years through lots of different fundraising initiatives. We love the calendars and are very grateful for their donation which will help us raise funds to care for our patients and their families.”

The calendar is now on sale at the Webbs centres in Wychbold, near Droitwich, and West Hagley, priced £4.99.
