St Elizabeth Hospice has thanked the community after its Christmas appeal raised more than £75,000 to help provide care for hundreds of sick people in Suffolk.
The Ipswich-based hospice, which provides care across Suffolk, ran its Be a Star campaign in the run up to Christmas, encouraging people across Suffolk and Norfolk to host socially-distanced fundraising activities.
Of the £77,000 raised, £13,000 was donated by businesses across the region as part of a matched giving scheme – with firms including Energy Power Resources, Escape Ipswich and George Baker Shipping matching every £1 raised.
