A MID Cheshire charity is taking part in a national awareness week until October 12.
St Luke's Hospice is raising awareness of its services and how easy it is to help during Hospice Care Week.
The theme for this year's week is 'hospice care everywhere' and St Luke's is promoting how people can donate just by shopping for everyday items and gifts online through Care2Save.
Shoppers can register on care2save.co.uk, choose St Luke's as their charity and companies will donate the commission to the hospice.
Richard Parker, chairman of the hospice's trustees, said: "It really is an easy way for people to support St Luke’s.
"The idea of Care2Save originally came from St Luke’s, and has now taken off nationally.
"As an example, if people buy a mobile phone contract via the Care2Save website, they could be donating as much as £40 to St Luke’s.
"There is no extra cost to them, but St Luke’s benefits greatly.
"The simple act of buying a phone contract for example, could them help to pay for a complementary therapy treatment for a person who really needs it.”
Anyone who would like to help promote Care2Save for St Luke’s to family and friends should ring Mark Porter on 01606 555697.
