THE charity Hospiscare has been presented with a cheque for £1,000 from the Rotary Club of Crediton (Boniface).

Most of the money was raised at a Burns’ Night held at the Waie Inn, Zeal Monachorum, which was organised by Rotarian Wilson Mitchell.

The club president, Liz Ledsham (and a Crediton Hospiscare shop volunteer), presented the cheque, along with fellow Rotarians, Paul Radnor and Barry Shears, to Sharon Collins, the charity’s area fundraiser for Mid Devon and Shirley Buckingham, the Crediton Hospiscare shop manager.

Previously, the club presented a cheque for £750 to FORCE from the money raised at the Burns’ Night.

Sharon thanked the club for its continuous support for Hospiscare.

She said that the next fundraiser for Hospiscare at Home Mid Devon will be a Cider and Pasty Proms at Downes, Crediton, from 6pm to 9.30pm with Crediton Town Band and the Hospiscare Choir on Saturday, June 17.
