The mascot from Pendleside Hospice was there to help Leah Hooper, community engagement officer, receive a cheque for £385.61 from Janet Kershaw and Julie Williams, the toddlers’ group leaders. The money was raised at the children’s recent Bunny Hop.
“Thirty three children took part in the Bunny Hop to raise the money in aid of the hospice which does such valuable work in our community,” said Janet. The children all pretended to be sleeping bunnies before being led in the Bunny Hop by the White Rabbit (one of our grandmothers dressed up),” she added.
