A HOSPICE in North Yorkshire has launched its annual fundraising calendar featuring photographs submitted by local supporters.

The calendar, launched by Saint Catherine's Hospice based in Scarborough, features images from all four seasons, showcasing the area covered by the hospice - which stretches from Whitby down to Bridlington and inland to Ryedale in the county.

Richard Barwick, fundraising operations team leader, said: “Our calendar is an ever-popular way of raising much-needed funds.

"The calendars are bought by thousands of supporters each year in the local area – with copies even ordered from abroad.”

The pictures were chosen from hundreds submitted following an annual appeal from the charity for calendar photographs.

The calendars are priced at £5 each, plus £1.50 UK postage and packing, with all the profits going towards patient care.

The money raised will go towards supporting Saint Catherine's vital patient care.

The calendars can be ordered in Saint Catherine's charity shops, by calling 01723 378406, emailing fundraising@saintcatherines.org.uk, on the hospice's website or in the branches of Boyes, Proudfoot and Sainsbury’s in Scarborough.
