AIR passengers can now see a model of Les Bourgs Hospice redevelopment and give money at the same time.

The model is on display at the airport and has been placed on a specially designed glass box from Dowding Signs which allows people to make donations.

‘I think it offers two things; it shows people the model of our beautiful new building and it gently reminds people that we desperately need them to give,’ said Les Bourgs’ director of nursing Jo Boyd.

The hospice needs a total of £3m. to complete the project to rebuild and expand its facilities. The work is on schedule to be completed towards the end of next year.
