Event organsied by Seaton and District Hospital League of Friends raises £1,350

A vital end-of-life nursing service received a £1,350 boost thanks to a Christmas market run by Seaton and District Hospital League of Friends.

The money raised at the event will all go to the Seaton Friends Hospiscare@Home service.

League manager Lycia Moore thanked all the volunteers for making the event such a success, not only on the day, but also for all the hours they put in behind the scenes throughout the year.

She added: “Thank you also to our local community who, over the last 12 months have donated such wonderful items to us, enablingus to put on such a splendid sale of Christmas decorations, toys, festive clothing and new gifts.

“And thanks to all who braved the miserable weather and came along and supported our event - and all our customers, donors and volunteers for their fantastic support in 2018.”

The League’s charity shops will be having a break over the festive season, but will be back open on Wednesday, January 2.
