A BOLTON based chartered accounting firm has raised £500 for Bolton Hospice.

DonnellyBentley raised the money by hosting two wine-tasting events at Barons Champagne And Wine Boutique in Lea Gate, Harwood.

John Shaw, managing director of DonnellyBentley, said: “We are delighted to continue our support for the Hospice in its tireless fundraising efforts to maintain this excellent facility for the town.”

In order to continue providing specialist palliative and end-of-life care, Bolton Hospice has to raise £2.5 million, two thirds of which has to come locally.
