THROUGH the Evening Press, may I thank the people of York and the surrounding communities on behalf of everyone who has benefited from St Leonard's Hospice and its services in our 20th anniversary year.
The continued support and generosity of local people is magnificent.
I would also wish to thank sincerely the loyal and dedicated team of more than 400 volunteers who are the backbone of our work, at the hospice, in one of our seven shops or in fundraising.
Fundraising continues to be challenging, but the generous support of many individuals, businesses, community groups and schools is fantastic.
Without you we would not be able to continue our work with patients and their families at a time of great need.
On behalf of the hospice, may I thank everyone who has helped us to care for local people in the past, during our 20th year and those who will support us in the future.
We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year.
Martyn Callaghan,
Chief Executive,
St Leonard's Hospice,
Tadcaster Road,
York.
