Barrow's Holiday Inn Express has raised more than £3,500 for a local hospice over the past year.

The hotel's Coffee Club initiative brought in £3,554.27 for St Mary's Hospice, boosted by collection tins on site.

Each drink sold through the Coffee Club sees 20p go to charity, with half going to the Ulverston-based hospice and the other half going towards different local causes.

A spokesperson from St Mary's said: "It is a wonderful way of spreading the love and support throughout the community - thank you so much."

The hotel shows no sign of stopping with its charitable work, with the next financial year seeing the Coffee Club scheme continuing in the hope that it can do even more good in the future.

They commented: "We were thrilled to invite Annabelle [Holloway] from St Mary's to the hotel last week for our cheque presentation, and we are delighted to be able to donate so much to the hospice."
