The Hospice has launched a new campaign which aims to raise £10,000 to boost its Orchard Day Therapy centre.

The day patient area is a vital part of the Hospice, helping people to feel more confident and maximise their quality of life.

The campaign will be run in conjunction with the Bury and Sudbury Mercury whose editor, Mark Crossley (left), launched the appeal with Ursula Noyce, Lead Registered Nurse for Orchard.

Ursula said: "Orchard enables patients to make friends, speak with like-minded people and benefit from a range of services, if they so wish. £10,000 would make a real difference to services within Orchard and the lives of our day patients."
