College musicians raise £275 for St Luke’s Hospice

Musicians from Ivybridge Community College's Flute Ensemble have presented St Luke's Hospice in Plymouth with a cheque for £275.

The money, which they raised by recording and selling a CD of Christmas Music, will help St Luke's continue to provide specialist end-of-life care to more than 3,500 patients a year across Plymouth, South West Devon and East Cornwall.

"St Luke's is a marvellous organisation that offers much-needed support, free of charge, to patients and their families," said Helen Reddy, Head of Performing Arts at Ivybridge Community College. "All the students in our Flute Ensemble were delighted that they could increase awareness and raise much-needed funds to help keep the Hospice operating smoothly."

The money raised by the College's Musicians will go towards the Hospice's fundraising target of £4.5million, which it needs to raise every year in order to keep its service running.
