STAFF at a Fulford-based housebuilder used their annual summer party to raise thousands of pounds for St Leonard’s Hospice.
Persimmon Homes Yorkshire helped to raise more than £6,000 at the event with a silent auction, tombola and raffle.
Deputy managing director Simon Usher said: “Our summer party is a small way of saying thanks to our Yorkshire office and Plc employees for all their hard work over the year and we were delighted that so many family members were able to attend. “We were very grateful to many of our suppliers and employees for generously donating to the auction, raffle and tombola.”
In addition to the fundraising activities, there were entertainments including a children’s fancy dress competitions.
Sue Miller, Fundraising Manager at St Leonard’s Hospice, said the money raised by Persimmon would go towards the £4 million which is needed each year in order to run the hospice.
