THE laying of the foundations for St Leonard's Hospice's extension is a cause for quiet celebration. This is the first tangible evidence of the good your money will do. This milestone has been reached thanks to so many of you supporting our Hospice 2000 campaign.

A facility is to be built on these foundations that will significantly improve the care and comfort the hospice can give to terminally ill people.

The appeal still needs more help to equip and run the new building. Please keep the money coming in. Once the final target has been reached the real celebrations can begin.
