An anonymous donor is offering to pay £150,000 to secure an area of land for a children’s
hospice in Huddersfield.
The hospice is still awaiting planning permission, but 
if that is given, the gift will be the largest received by the Forget-Me-Not Trust.
So far the organisation has raised £450,000 since 1998.

According to icHuddersfield, the new hospice will cost £2 million to build and £
1.5 million to run each year.
