It was cakes galore at Hawthorn Theatrical, based in Old Dalby, when they held a coffee morning on the 26th March to raise money for LOROS.

Jules Crawley, PA to the Managing Director at Hawthorns , said: "The girls in the Drapes department, headed by Lorna Simons, organised the coffee morning with the idea of raising money for LOROS after a former work colleague benefitted from her stay at the Hospice recently.

On Wednesday 6th May Laura Betts, representing LOROS, attended the Hawthorn premises to received their cheque.

Laura said: "LOROS are delighted that Hawthorns continue to show such dedication and commitment to our cause.
