A COMMUNITY group has presented cheques totalling £4,500 to two hospices.
Leigh Community Group raised the total – which was split equally between Wigan and Leigh Hospice and Derian House Children’s Hospice – by holding a diamonds and pearls-themed fundraiser.
Tonia Bridden, a member of the group, said: “We have to say big a thank you to our artists who always give up their time, Chloe Pownall, Jon Christos, Ricky Birchall, David Julien, our DJ GR Disco and, of course, Leigh Sports Village.”
