A family doctor said thank you to people of a town for supporting him and his practice over the past 25 years.
Dr Vipul Masharani organised a Healthfest at his surgery in Lutterworth on Saturday.
During the event, donations and a raffle raised £506, which will be shared between LOROS hospice and the Community Heartbeat Trust, which promotes the installation of defibrillators.
The National Audit Office today released a report into the financial sustainability of hospices. LOROS Hospice is calling for this report to mark a turning point in the debate over hospice funding, and urges government to step in to create a more sustainable funding model.
Staff at LOROS Hospice – including nurses on the inpatient ward – swapped their uniforms for pyjamas yesterday, as part of a fundraiser celebrating the launch of a new charity sleepwear range.
40 giant elephants from LOROS Hospice’s Stomp Round Leicester art trail were auctioned off last night, raising a mammoth £286,800 for the charity.
