A charity supporting people with life-limiting illnesses has received a donation from a building society.

The Richmond branch of the Yorkshire Building Society has given £519.92 from the firm's charitable foundation to Herriot Hospice Homecare.

Moira Mason, from the Richmond branch, said: "We are very pleased to recommend this local charity to receive assistance from our charitable foundation, especially as they provide such worthwhile support."

The money will be used to pay for uniforms and lockable cases to carry patients' confidential notes.
