STAFF from Shipley-based Bradford & Bingley Limited have presented a cheque for £7,000 to Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice.

It was raised through a three-year charity partnership.

Since 2019, around 150 colleagues from Bradford & Bingley have been working together to raise crucial funds for the Oxenhope-based hospice, organising a variety of fundraising activities including cake stalls, dress-down days, office challenges, raffles, sweepstakes and auctions.

The money raised through the charity partnership will help the hospice to continue providing expert palliative care and support to people living with life-limiting conditions, as well as supporting their families.

Nikki Hill, communications manager at Bradford & Bingley, who led the partnership, said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure supporting Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice over the last three years.

"Colleagues, past and present, have shown their generous support through taking part in a number of fundraising activities including inspiring each other through the pandemic whilst never forgetting our help will make a difference to families within our local community.”

Harriet Wood, community fundraiser at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, added: “We feel incredibly lucky to have been chosen as a charity partner and the funds that they have raised will enable us to be there for our patients and families when it matters most.”
