HOSPISCARE recently received a £500 cheque from Waitrose as part of its Community Matters scheme.

Earlier this month, Angela and Heather from the Hospiscare Okehampton Fundraising Support Group picked up a cheque from Waitrose staff in Okehampton.

The donation was given to local charity Hospiscare from Waitrose as part of their Community Matters scheme.

Hospiscare is a local charity, providing free, high quality care and support to people with a progressive life-limiting illness, and those close to them.

‘We really appreciate Waitrose supporting local charities like ours,’ said Hospiscare Community Fundraiser, Susie Healey.

‘Our Okehampton support group are all volunteers who work so hard raising funds for Hospiscare.

‘It’s fantastic when a business in the area gets involved and contributes to the team’s fund raising efforts.

‘If anyone reading this has some spare time and would like to join a Hospiscare support group in the North Dartmoor area, we would love to hear from you.

‘There are fundraising support groups in Chagford and Okehampton and it’s a great opportunity to make new friends as well as helping a local charity.’
