Lisa Mulkerns from Southern Area Hospice Services said it was only through the generosity of local people that the annual raffle was made possible and the hospice could go on providing vital care and support to its patients.

Lisa added: “It will take £2.3 million this year to keep Southern Area Hospice Services operating at its current level, providing support and palliative care to local people with life limiting illnesses. We give our patients and their families’ vital medical, psychological, social and emotional support and strive to enhance their quality of life. Your money can help us do that.”
