A FUNDRAISING campaign has been celebrating its first birthday with the news that it has clocked up £300,000 in its first year.
Yorkshire Building Society's Hour of Need campaign was launched in June 2014 and has now raised enough to support 15,000 hours of Marie Curie nursing in just 12 months. Every £20 raised funds one hour of Marie Curie nursing care.
Hour of Need is the Bradford-based company’s most ambitious charity drive in its history.
Marie Curie hospice nurse Lola Rowe said: "I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has donated to the Hour of Need fundraising campaign for Marie Curie so far. It is thanks to their fundraising that we can provide support to even more people in their hours of need."
The Society is aiming to raise £500,000 by December 2016, which equates to funding an hour of care by a Marie Curie Nurse for every hour of the campaign.
