THERE were more celebrations at the Bordon offices of Hospice Services at Home Therapies Linked to Care on Monday when the charity received the £249,878 Big Lottery cheque that will help it to extend its services.

Lottery representative Alison Rowe presented the cheque to Jacinta Grange-Bennett, managing director of PALLS, and the money will be used to provide respite care for carers, a sitter service, a helpline, and complimentary therapies.
