THE Lions' Hospice, which provides respite care for the terminally ill, is being given £10,000.

The money is being donated to the charity in Coldharbour Lane, Gravesend, today by The Lions' Club, also in Gravesend.

Money was raised from a Christmas grotto in the Anglesey Centre, Gravesend, and a barrel organ in Gravesend.

Fred Mepham of the Lions' Club fundraising committee, said: "We were delighted with the response. The funds are vital to keep the hospice running." Call Mr Mepham on 01474 534 828.
