A hospice is hoping firms and their staff will back its latest fundraising initiative.

Hartlepool Alice House Hospice’s Win a Duvet Day campaign, sponsored by Direct Beds Hartlepool, is a prize draw where one winner from each place of work receives an extra day’s holiday.

Hospice community fundraiser Janice Forbes described the idea as “a bit of fun and a morale booster, adding: “This is a simple way for companies to support local hospice care.”

Direct beds manager Ian Heseltine said: “We are pleased to sponsor this event and help to raise money for a vital local cause.”

The first company to sign up for the appeal was one of the hospice’s regular charity partners, Orangebox Training Solutions.

Chief executive Simon Corbett said: “Having visited the hospice many times, I know first-hand how much of a difference their services make to local families and the enormous fundraising challenges they face.”
