Cornwall Hospice Care received a funding boost of £1,500 recently when they were presented with cheques from the two Lions Clubs of Camborne and Redruth and of Truro.

The clubs jointly organised a Grand Concert at Redruth Methodist Church on May 21, and club presidents Alan Chick and Derek Canham presented cheques for the money that was raised to Tamsin Thomas, head of the hospice PR and fundraising and senior staff nurse Claire Collings.

Both presidents once again thanked the artists who took part in the concert, the male voice choirs of the City of Truro and Fourlanes, and the Ritzy Belles from Redruth, as well as sponsors Wheal Jane Ltd, Warren’s Bakery and the Cornish Mutual Assurance.
