A Letchworth supermarket has presented a cheque for more than £6,000 to Garden House Hospice Care following a year of fundraising.
The hospice in Gillison Close was voted local charity partner by staff and customers at the town’s Sainsbury’s store last July.
A jam-packed year of fundraising has included bag-packing, in-store collections and more – with the store also helping to promote hospice fundraising events and activities.
Garden House Hospice Care chief executive Sue Plummer and development manager Katy Terry accepted a cheque for £6,369.29 from store deputy manager Gemma Murrell and Val Hillyer.
Katy said: “We can’t thank the team and customers at Sainsbury’s enough for all their support over the last year.
“We rely on the support of the local community and local businesses to continue our vital services and the funds raised will be used to support local patients and families who are facing a life-limiting illness.”
