A GROUP has raised £8,000 for Little Havens Hospice, in Benfleet.

Reg Ramm, one of the trustees of Little Havens, attended the ceremony to present trophies to the winning teams of the Little Haven Hospice Ladies Darts League.

In return, they presented him with a cheque for £8,000 to go towards the hospice’s work supporting children with life limiting conditions.

Iris Cunningham, secretary, said: “Each week our teams collect money from subs and raffles and at the end of season every team hands this money into the league.

“Including this year’s cheque, we have given the children’s hospice £208,000.

“This I think is a great achievement to all our ladies young and old.”
