A POOLE hospice has received £1,000 in donations from attendees of the Bournemouth Property Association’s lunch event.

Lewis-Manning hospice is aiming to raise £2.8million to build a state-of-the-art hospice in Lilliput to expand its existing day hospice services and clinics.

Sara Sheppard, community fundraiser at Lewis-Manning Hospice, said: “It was great to meet local people in the property and construction sector to raise awareness and we were overwhelmed by their generous donations.”
