FUNDRAISERS have presented a cheque for £700 to St Richard's Hospice.

Hilary Al Rasheed, of Holland Funeral Services, Barnards Green, and Darryl Mogg, of A V Band in Worcester, presented the cheque to staff at the hospice on Wednesday morning.

The money was raised as part of a sponsored relay in July, involving 300 staff members from 67 funeral services across the Midlands and South-West belonging to the Dignity chain. The money generated in each area was donated to local hospices.

Mrs Al Rasheed and colleague Christine Scully, with their dogs Gimli and Graham, trekked from British Camp to the Wor-cester office of A V Band.
