Supporters of St Ann’s Hospice fundraise by placing bucket next to their Christmas display
Jennifer and Alan Bradbury raised the sum of money thanks to the help of students from Kingsway High School

Jennifer and Alan Bradbury who live locally to St Ann’s raised a sum of money for the hospice by placing a collection bucket next to their stunning Christmas light display.
Jennifer said her husband Alan puts up Christmas lights every year and this year they decided to put all the lights out in an effort to raise funds for the hospice.
The bucket raised approximately £130 for St Ann’s Hospice.
“We didn’t expect very much coming in,” Jennifer said.
One thing that surprised Jennifer and Alan was the children on their way to and from school who stopped by the lights and donated small sums of money.
It was very touching. They would be on their way to Kingsway High School and we would go out in the morning and find 5ps or 10ps in the bucket Jennifer Bradbury , St Ann's Hospice Supporter
“The little bits of money that people were putting in kept adding up,” she added.
The husband and wife duo decided to put up Christmas lights during the festive season over the Covid pandemic in an effort to cheer people up.
“We had one lady crying at our doorstep because she thought it was so beautiful. So Alan has put the lights up every year.
“We wanted to give the money to St Ann’s because of all the great work we know the hospice is doing for the community,” she added.
The money raised by Jennifer and Alan will go towards the new St Ann’s Hospice building, currently under construction as part of the St Ann’s Build it Together appeal.
