A hospice serving the people of South Cheshire is asking people to take part in a 'Bring a £1 to Work Day' next week.

The initiative takes place next Wednesday (September 21st) and will be raising money for St Luke's Hospice . All employees have to do is to take £1 to work to donate to the charity.

Last year, over 60 local companies got involved and Andy Bailey from St Luke's fundraising team is hopeful that the business community will once again pledge to help out.

"The lovely thing about Bring a Pound is that it's open to all workplaces, whether you're part of a team of three or 300," he said.

"It's a great atmosphere, as our armies of volunteers hit the roads to collect in as many pounds as possible in a single day. 

"Last year, the campaign raised more than £5000 which is a significant contribution to patient care at the Hospice, making a difference to local families." 

St Luke's offers day hospice support to 150 each week at Winterley Grange near Sandbach and St Luke's in Winsford.

This year, St Luke's launched a Community Night Care service to support local people in their own homes overnight. 

Since launching at the start of summer, the service has supported numerous patients and their families, enabling carers to get a much-needed night's sleep.
