Halifax care worker raises more than £400 for Overgate Hospice in mum's memory
A devoted daughter was proud to hand over a big cheque to the Overgate Hospice after raising hundreds of pounds in her late mum’s honour.
Joanna Lawton, Activities Co-ordinator at Woodfield Grange Care Home in Greetland, hosted a ‘Big Brew’ fundraising event in aid of the service.
Her mum Anne was cared for at Overgate Hospice in the last months of her life, and Joanna wanted to give something back to the service.
The charity event raised £420, which will go towards building an extension so the hospice can accommodate more in-patients.
Joanna said: “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone who helped me with the ‘Big Brew’ fundraiser.
“From those who baked, donated or bought a raffle ticket, every gesture counted.
“It meant the world to me to do this in memory of my lovely mum.”
The event, which also featured entertainment from local duo Adare, brought the community together.
