Congratulations to the Coleorton Support Group, who have been tirelessly fundraising for over 25 years and have raised over £150,000 for LOROS
The challenge is simple enough, each team were given £50 and tasked with ‘’growing’’ the money in any way they could over a 3 month period. 20 teams proved successful and together raised the incredible sum of £6000, which is equivalent to the cost of a LOROS Community Nurse Specialist being able to visit 65 terminally ill patients in their homes in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland.
