A POIGNANT cash gift has been handed over to Stockton's Butterwick Hospice.
The cheque for £632 was in memory of a theatre worker at the town's University Hospital of North Tees, who had been cared for at the hospice.
The money was presented to Butterwick representative Margaret Mallon by Sharon Robinson, senior sister, and staff members from the hopital's operating theatres.
Staff raised the cash in memory of colleague Judy Roberts, who died in January at the age of 63.
Her daughter, Patricia Roberts, a staff nurse at the hospital, said: "I really appreciate the care that was shown to her by the Butterwick Hospice and I am grateful for all the support from her friends in threatres.
