ON WEDNESDAY, March 16, 2016 a team from Lloyds Banking Group, Andover Service Centre took part in a fundraising competition for Naomi House & Jacksplace Hospices for children and young adults.

We carried out lots of events with the staff of the Service Centre and set up an online justgiving page. On the actual day itself we were dressed up as Star Wars characters, ran a tombola stall outside the Naomi House shop in Andover and people were also collecting donations up and down the High Street.

On behalf of the team I would like to say thank you to everyone who took part or made a donation as overall we raised a total of £6,119.44 for a very worthwhile and fantastic charity.
