A charity which provides end of life care in Bishop's Hull has reached the finals of a national awards event.

St Margaret's Hospice Care has reached the finals of the annual Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards.

The hospice is in the running for the Community Engagement Award at the event, set for March 15 at The Grand Hotel, Birmingham.
