Springhill Hospice at Home service has received a donation of £200 from Asda Rochdale Kingsway, as part of its “Chosen by you... given by us” initiative.

The charity was one of three organisations that customers have been voting for over the past two months, by placing a token into a clear plastic box in the store’s new community area.

Springhill Hospice at Home service received the most votes and was presented with the £200 donation from Asda colleagues.

Asda Rochdale Kingsway’s community Life Champion Amanda Hughes said: “The chosen by you given by us scheme reflects our commitment to supporting the local community. We’re thrilled to give Springhill Hospice at Home this donation and would like to thank everyone for taking part.”

The £200 has been funded by the Asda Foundation, which was set up in 1988 to support local good causes chosen by Asda colleagues, and is funded by profits from the mid-week national lottery.
