ST TERESA’S Hospice has been named as the first charity to benefit from this year’s fundraising activity at the new Feethams Darlington development.
As the nominated charity for the year, St Teresa’s – which provides hospice services across South Durham and North Yorkshire - will also feature at several upcoming events at Darlington’s newest leisure complex.
Simon Hawkins, development director with Urban & Civic – the property development company behind Feethams – said: “Part of our plan with the Feethams development was to work alongside a number of partners to become an integral part of the local community.”
More than £4,000 raised from the ‘dry run’ opening of the Bella Italia restaurant at Feethams earlier this summer has already been donated to the charity.
