MORE than £4,000 has been raised for St Leonard's Hospice at the recent 'Live for St Leonard's' music festival.

The event took place in Parliament Street during the York Food & Drink Festival and featured live performances from local musicians including The Moths, Tri-Starrs, Gary Stewart, Third Sector, Simon Snaize, Naglo Bay and Mama Feelgood.

The music acts were arranged by Chris Bush, Business Manager at the York BID.

He said, “It’s been a hugely enjoyable eight days and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful people who came together to make the festival possible. Especially to the incredible local musicians and performers, volunteers and our partners who all gave their time.”
Emma Johnson, Chief Executive at St Leonard’s Hospice, added: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the amount raised. A huge thank you to York BID, and its partners, for organising another fantastic event, and to everyone who came along to show their support. The staff and volunteers who attended all had a brilliant time, made all the more memorable by raising over £4,000 to support patient care.”
