Jill Stevens, from the hospice, explains: "It costs £10,500 per week to run the Hospice at Home service so donations like the one from WPD can all help contribute towards these costs. Whether patients choose our inpatient care or the hospice at home service, our aim is to reach more people in the community at their time of need."

Keith Comley, WPD employee presented the kit bags to Hospice at Home nurse Sue Sharlott. His wife, Mandy, received care from Rowcroft Hospice.
