A HOSPICE is asking supporters to raise funds by holding events next month to mark their patron saint.

St Cuthbert's Hospice, in Durham City, wants people to celebrate St Cuthbert's day with a coffee morning, wine and cheese evening, or pie and peas supper, on Tuesday, March 20, but organisers are hoping that events will be held throughout the month.

The hospice can provide posters, invitations and publicity material. For further information, contact the hospice on 0191-386-1170.
