Herbert Parkinson based in Darwen voted unanimously after pitches from 4 shortlisted local charities.

Community Liason Co-ordinator Gillian Walsh said: "Over the next 12 months we will try our best to raise as much as we can for this worthy cause."

But the support doesn't end there. The company also plan to offer staffing hours to boost the hospice's manpower and provide items which can be used to raise funds, including an upcoming curtain sale featuring hundreds of slight seconds John Lewis curtains at rock bottom prices. Keep an eye on our website for more information about this and other future events as we look forward to working with Herbert Parkinson to make the next 12 months successful for them and us!
