A NORTH Yorkshire hospice is hoping to build on the success of a previous fundraising initiative

The Buy a Brick campaign of St Catherine's Hospice, Scarborough, raised tens of thousands of pounds towards its new building.

Now it is being re-launched to help the hospice continue its work helping patients with advanced and progressive illnesses.

Anyone can take part by donating £40 to the campaign. That buys a brick, etched with the name of a business, organisation or individual donor. The name could be that of a loved one.

The hundreds of bricks already bought for the campaign form a unique walkway through St Catherine's grounds, but the hospice now aims to extend the path and boost its fund-raising for patient care.
