Cliff Osborne, senior branch manager at the society’s Andover branch, said: “It gave me great pleasure to present a cheque to the hospice for the funds raised by our generous customers in 2021.

"This is the largest annual amount we have raised since supporting this worthy cause and it will help the hospice continue its valuable service to the community.”
