Local Postie Russ will be dressing up as Santa out on delivery to raise money for Farleigh Hospice, if you see him pop some pennies in his tin or you can use this link to donate via Just Giving. Every penny counts and the posties at Royal Mail will be wearing Christmas jumpers and supporting this great cause.

Farleigh Hospice is a registered charity (no. 284670) which provides hospice care to people affected by life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex.

They help patients to live as actively as possible from the point of diagnosis to the end of their life, by providing physical and emotional care, free of charge.

With approximately 40% of their yearly running costs being funded by the local NHS, they rely on the support and goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £21,271 it costs to provide their services each day.
