FOUR hospices have been given a boost with a donation of nearly £4,000.
St Teresa's Hospice in Darlington, Butterwick Hospice in Stockton, Teesside Hospice in Middlesbrough and Hartlepool and District Hospice are each to receive £925 raised by members of Darlington Building Society.
Members were told that 35p would be donated to the hospices for each proxy form they returned to the society before its annual meeting.
Jane Bradshaw, director of St Teresa's Hospice, said: "The money will go towards various running costs for all of our services including Hospice at Home, day care, in-patient care and all the other free support services we provide for patients and carers."
