LOROS staff and volunteers were there to meet and greet visitors as well as manning inflatable rides, traditional stalls & face painting.

Adrian Walker, Senior Fundraiser at LOROS, said "I am so pleased that Leicestershire Police chose to support LOROS for their Open Day, we are all delighted with the total amount raised.

"LOROS is very proud that 90p of every £1 received goes towards patient care and, as an example, the amount raised at this event could be used to fund the running of the Hospice for more than 7 hours - Thank you so much, we really are very grateful."
