THE Let's Party weekend has raised at least £10,000, a tremendous boost for the St Leonard's Hospice 2000 Appeal.
The money rolled in from various festivities, proving that you can have fun and fundraise at the same time.
If ever there was another excuse to have a party, this is it.
The heartening news comes on the day it was reported most people thought hospices to be dour, depressing places.
This is a disappointing misconception, as anyone who has visited St Leonard's knows.
It is a place of hope, comfort and, indeed, fun.
