THE campaign for a new hospice for Wyre Forest has made a tremendous start - but the momentum needs to continue.

So the Shuttle/Times and News has adopted the appeal and we will be doing our utmost to help turn Kemp's vision into a reality in the shortest time possible.

We are urging all our readers to spread the new hospice message across Wyre Forest and beyond - and to raise much-needed cash for this vital project which will be of such great benefit to our community.

Businesses, clubs and groups, schools, families and individuals will be the key to fund-raising success.

We will publicise your activities in our columns to help you collect as much cash as you can.

We will be bringing weekly updates on how the fund is progressing and how you are helping Kemp to achieve its ambitious target.

In the meantime don't delay. Put your fund-raising ideas. into practice - NOW.
