STAFF at a curtains and blinds company pulled together to raise £1,625 for Kirkwood Hospice at Dalton.

Hospice fundraiser Kate Leadbeater received the cheque from David Roebuck, a director of Swift Blinds and Curtains, of Lockwood, showroom manager Debbie Butler and employee Hannah Frith.

The cash was raised with an auction and raffle staged at the company’s Lockwood Road premises.

Suppliers provided many of the prizes and were also at the event to show their latest collections and products.
