The St John’s Hospice 50-50-500 Charity Challenge 2023 saw businesses in Lancaster and Morecambe fundraising in all sorts of ingenious way to raise a massive £35,000.
And on Friday, they were invited along to the hospice to enjoy drinks, food and an awards ceremony.
St John’s fundraising executive, Lily Knight, said: “The entire St John’s Hospice team thanks you for all of your continued hard work throughout the challenge.
“With the amount raised, every single person who took part has made a genuine impact on the care and support we are able to provide to our patients and their loved ones."
Seven awards were presented on the evening including the Charity Challenge Champions shield, sponsored by the Lancaster Guardian.
