A special charity day is being held at Beauchamp College, Oadby, today.
Among the events being staged is a wet sponge competition, with teachers getting soaked in the stocks, and a Zumbathon.
There is also a frisbee record challenge and in the afternoon a traditional summer fair, including old favourites like welly-wanging, plus a collection by a team of volunteers from LOROS.
Hair and beauty students will also be ready to apply henna tattoos.
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.
