A Cross Hills car dealership has donated £1,500 to Manorlands in support of the hospice’s 2011 Keighley BigK 10k fundraising event.

White Rose Volkswagen gave the cash in lieu of sending Christmas cards to its customers.

Managing director Frank Greenway presented the donation to Manorlands fundraiser Andrew Wood.

Mr Greenway said: “We are delighted to once again make a donation to Manorlands hospice as an alternative to sending Christmas cards. We’d still like to thank our customers for their continued support but I’m sure they appreciate our decision to make this donation.’’
