Hitchen Food staff rustle up donation
24 April 2015
A MAJOR food supplier in Ince has cooked up a donation for Wigan and Leigh Hospice.
Hitchen Foods chose the hospice as their Charity of the Year for
2014 and raised a huge £2618.12.
Amanda Irvine, Health and Safety Advisor, said: "We nominate three
or four charities every November when members of staff are asked to
vote for their preferred charity and Wigan and Leigh Hospice was a
clear winner.
"We held fundraising activities throughout the year including a
Fun Day at Spring View Club, a cake sale and a raffle to win three
days' annual leave."
Maxine Armstrong, Fundraising and Lottery Manager for the Hospice,
said: "Hitchen Foods have been wonderful over the last year and
raised a fantastic amount of money. The funds they have raised will
help us to carry on supporting hundreds of local people who are
living with life-limiting illnesses."
