YOU can treat yourself and help our Hospice 2000 Appeal at the same time, thanks to the efforts of a York hotel.

The Grange Hotel, in Bootham, is organising its winter lunch promotion for the second year running in aid of the St Leonard's Millennium Appeal.

The hotel, owned by Jeremy and Vivien Cassel since 1989, was recently awarded the Blue Ribbon Award in this year's RAC Inspected Hotels Guide.

The Grange will be running its winter lunch promotion from next Monday until Friday, March 9. Guests will enjoy a two-course lunch in the Ivy Restaurant Mondays to Fridays for £8.95 and Sundays for £9.95 - and £1 from each meal will be donated to the hospice appeal.

Shara Ross, general manager of the Grange, said: "As a corporate patron of the hospice we know how important the redevelopment is to St Leonard's. We have been amazed at the level of support for the Appeal and are delighted to play our part in helping St Leonard's reach their target."

Janet Morley, fundraising manager for St Leonard's, said: "We are very grateful to everyone at The Grange for their continuing support."
