FARLEIGH Hospice has set a challenge to local business to raise money with just a £50 budget.

Thirty-five businesses from across the region recently attended an open evening and received the £50 from charity representatives, along with Chelmsford mayor councillor Rob Villa.

New London Road-based Right2improve was one of the businesses in attendance.

Director Lewis Pitts said the company were pleased to be involved in such an project.

He added: “We will do everything we can to contribute as much as we can and are looking forward to turn the £50 into a much bigger amount.”
