WARMHEARTED Evening Press readers surpassed themselves with their generosity today.

With weeks to go before its May deadline, our Hospice 2000 appeal is within an ace of the £500,000 mark - a quarter of the way to its £2 million target.

And you have also raised almost £10,000 for our Kosovo appeal in aid of the charity Unicef.

Our thanks go to you all - keep that money coming in !
