NORTHERN Ireland Hospice will hold their
Christmas Flag Day collections in Belfast City Centre in the
coming weeks. On Thursday, November 20 between 9.00am-9.00pm the
collection will be in aid of the Children's Hospice and then on
Tuesday, December 9 2008 the flag day will be for Adult Hospice.
Jan Harrison, Events Fundraiser for Northern
Ireland Hospice commented: "It doesn't matter how much or little
individuals can give.
"Every penny adds up and will make a
difference to the amount of money we are able to raise for the
work of the hospice and the children's hospice."
Northern Ireland Hospice provides a high
standard of care, at home and in Hospice to adults and children
with life threatening and life limiting illnesses. They need to
raise funds to enable them to continue to provide this level of
service.
They are looking for volunteers to collect
money between the hours of 5pm-9pm on both dates. If you are
over 16 and would like to help ring Jan Harrison at Northern
Ireland Hospice on 028 9078 1836 or email
