Local opticians eye up chance to raise funds for Manorlands

20 October 2011

A LOCAL opticians has raised much needed funds to help Manorlands Hospice near Bradford provide specialist palliative care.

 

Specsavers Bradford, based on Darley Street, organised a football tournament last month in aid of the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice in Oxenhope, near Keighley, and collected more than £700.

 

Teams from around the region battled it out at the Thackley Football Club ground with Harrogate triumphing over Barnsley in the finals to scoop the trophy. There was family fun throughout the day, including a bouncy castle, brass band, karaoke, tombola, raffle and face paints. 

 

The money raised will go towards helping Manorlands to continue to provide their specialist palliative services to people, both at the hospice and in the local community.

 

Pete Rooke, store director at Specsavers Bradford, comments: ‘We are honoured to be able to support such a worthwhile charity and help people who are living with complex long-term and end-of-life conditions while at the same time raising awareness of the hard work that the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice team puts in.

 

‘We hope that the money we have raised goes some way to helping the people in the care of Manorlands Hospice and we’d like to thank everybody who came down to support the football tournament as without them we wouldn’t have been able to raise the funds we did.’
