A COMMUNICATION company has been helping to boost the coffers of a Worcester hospice by making a video on its work, for free.

JTA Communication Solutions, in Ombersley, has produced the video for St Richard's Hospice.

The 12-minute video gives an insight into the life of the hospice, which cares for people with life-limiting illnesses.

Patients, volunteers and staff all contributed, and the video also demonstrates the need to raise income to fund the vital services.

"There are so many ways in which we shall be able to use the video," said Marilyn Peachey, fund-raising director at St Richard's.

"We are extremely grateful for this very generous gift which would normally have cost about £10,000."

She said the JTA team had approached the project in a "sensitive and caring" way.

Brian Darnley, managing director at JTA, said he was delighted to be able to support the hospice in such a unique way.

"Most videos we make are for the commercial sector," he said.

"We felt very privileged to be able to film such an inspiring story, which will help the hospice."
