HIGH street businesses are being asked to raise the profile of the St Margaret's Somerset Hospice New Build Appeal by displaying window stickers, posters and collection boxes.

Appeal manager Michele Evans said: "What better way is there to pull together as a community and support the building of the new in-patient ward at St Margaret's?

"At present the funds stand at £1.6 million - money donated by local people, organisations and businesses throughout Somerset.

"The race is now on to raise the remaining £400 000 by April next year.

"What we are asking retailers and high street businesses to do will not eat into their time or profits."

If you would like to help St Margaret's Somerset Hospice give a final push to their fundraising efforts, drop into the Appeal Office at 10/12 Bridge Street, Taunton or call 01823-321899.
