'The Star deserves credit for highlighting the issue of funding when it comes to our hospices' - Your Letters: July 30
PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: There is plenty of seasonal produce on sale at Penkridge Market. and small town south of Stafford and east of Newport comes alive twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays to the sights, smells and sounds of the many stalls that set up close to the meandering River Penk.
HOSPICES NEED FAIR FUNDING
The Star deserves credit for highlighting the issue of funding when it comes to our hospices.
They provide a service that is absolutely essential and the NHS and social services would struggle without them.
Yet they have to go cap in hand to the government for one-off grants and then rely on the generosity of the public to keep them going day-to-day. Our hospices deserve so much better.
