A grand effort from local jeweller for Springhill Hospice Date published: 13 January 2021

After being inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore’s efforts to raise funds for NHS Charities by walking 100 laps of his garden for his 100th birthday, John purchased a piece of original artwork of Captain Sir Tom seated with the official RAF flypast for his 100th birthday overhead. The artwork, by local artist Lisa Haselden, now takes pride of place in John’s home, but he wanted to find a way to share the joy the painting brings him and also the enthusiasm created by Tom to raise funds for charities.
