MP for Tamworth, Christopher Pincher, last week handed over a donation cheque to the Lynn Shiel of St Giles Hospice from Tamworth’s William Hill bookmakers in the town centre.

The donation was made following a survey Mr Pincher undertook in February.  All proceeds from the survey go to charity and Mr Pincher nominated St Giles for a £50 donation.

Mr Pincher said, “St Giles’ Hospice does very important local work caring for terminally ill people and helping their families to cope.  I am very pleased to nominate the hospice and am grateful to William Hill for their support.”

St Giles Hospice in Whittington was founded in 1983 and this year celebrates its 30th anniversary.  There will be a service of thanksgiving at Lichfield cathedral to mark the anniversary in April.

St Giles also provides help and support for families in Elford, Hopwas, Harlaston, Clifton Campville and many Lichfield District villages as well as Tamworth borough.
