Luscombe Valley Railway has just presented a fundraising cheque to Lewis-Manning Hospice in Poole for £10,500.
Richard and Connie Knott, who run Luscombe Valley Railway, nominated to support Lewis-Manning in 2013, having done so previously three years ago, and opened up their meticulously assembled railway collection, set in the grounds of their home in Brudenell Avenue, to the public over four weekends.
Paul Tucker, Marketing and Communications Officer at Lewis-Manning said, “We are so grateful to Richard and Connie, plus all their helpers, for such generosity and kindness. 2014 is going to be a very exciting year for the hospice with the in-patient unit opening, so this money will really benefit the growing number of patients that rely on us for the free care we provide.”
The charity offers free palliative nursing care to hundreds of local people living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.
