Supermarket donates hundreds to hospice thanks to book sale

A town supermarket has generously donated hundreds of pounds to a palliative care hospice.The team at Tesco Extra on Lynn’s Hardwick presented The Norfolk Hospice Tapping House with a cheque for £455.16.The money was raised via a Tesco scheme where customers and colleagues donate books, with those purchasing the books contributing as much money as they wish into a charity box.

Every month, a local charity is chosen to receive the funds – and this time, the money has been donated to the Hillington care provider.Lisa Crane, community champion at the Hardwick Tesco, said: “We are so pleased with the amount raised, and Tapping House was also very pleased.“It is lovely to be able to give to local charities and that money makes such a difference – all because of our customers and colleagues with their book donations.“Tapping House is an amazing place and they rely so much on donations to keep them running.”
