A HOSPICE is urging people to give Christmas cards a miss for work colleagues.

People are being asked instead to display greetings on a poster and make a donation to the Manorlands Sue Ryder hospice in Oxenhope.

Last year more than 350 companies, hospital wards and schools made use of the free Christmas tree-shaped posters and more than £6,000 was raised.

Send an email to matthew.palmer@suerydercare.org or contact the fundraising office by phone on 01535 640430 for a poster.
