As soon as Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, the social committee at Durrants Village, Faygate, wasted no time planning a series of events, with all donations going to the hospice.

Events on offer included line dancing, coffee mornings, barbecues, wine and cheese nights, village quiz nights and musical performances.

Felicity Parsons, fundraiser on the supporter development team at St Catherine’s Hospice, said: “We’re very grateful to everyone at Durrants and Inspired Villages for their support.

“Without people like them supporting the hospice, we wouldn’t be able to offer the care we provide for our patients and their families.”
