A taxi firm has given a lift to Manorlands.

Metro Private Hire has donated £320 to the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice.

The cash was raised by drivers from the company - based in Church Street, Keighley – giving a proportion of their fares to the cause.

The venture, initiated by one of the drivers, Mohamed Shafiq, has been running for eight months.

Steven Carter, the firm’s general manager, said: “We are very proud to support this fantastic local charity and look forward to the next opportunity to contribute towards its vital work.”

Sue Ryder regional fundraiser Andrew Wood, who collected the cheque, thanked the firm for its support. He added: “Many of the people we care for and their families use Metro so it’s great that they are supporting us and helping our care to continue.”
