Hospice Garden visit for Rotary fund-raiser

Letchworth Howard Rotary Club hand over a cheque to the Garden House Hospice.

Everything in the garden was lovely at Garden House Hospice, Letchworth Garden City, on Monday (June 12) when Colin Green, president of Letchworth Howard Rotary Club, came to hand over a cheque for £750 raised at the club’s annual bridge tournament.

He took advantage of the fine weather to enjoy the Hospice’s gardens, a haven for patients, visitors and staff maintained in immaculate order by an army of volunteers.

Colin was shown round by Lisa Seccombe, the Hospice’s director of fund-raising, marketing and communications, who is pictured receiving the fruits of the Rotary club’s fund-raising.

Letchworth Howard Rotary Club has a close connection with Garden House Hospice. Club members are active in the Hospice's retail operations, finance, and patient transport. The Club's secretary, John Bush, recently retired as a Hospice trustee.
