Hospice hits Bullseye at Rotary Darts Marathon

Letchworth Garden City’s Garden House Hospice hit the bullseye at Letchworth Howard Rotary Club’s recent darts marathon when an estimated £2,000-plus was raised for charitable causes, with the hospice the main beneficiary.

The event, at the town’s Broadway Hotel on November 16, attracted 11 darts-playing teams, with a total of 52 participants.

The full financial results will not be known until January when all the sponsorship monies come through, but the total is thought to have been at least £2,000, with 60 per cent going to Garden House and the remainder being kept for the club’s own charity fund for other Rotary charities. On top of the sponsorship monies, a raffle raised an additional £199 for the hospice, which also benefitted from a further individual donation of £50.
