Chelmsford's £30k children's hospice gift

The charity was chosen by 650 staff members and the money was raised as a result of a year-long effort including fashion shows, raffles and concerts.

Marketing & PR Manager Vanessa Howard commented: “The total is amazing and we would like to thank our customers for their generous support in all our fund-raising ventures across the stores.”

The funds will cover six weeks of respite visits, which means a family can stay at Little Havens with their child for extra care.
