manchestereveningnews.co.ukA much-loved pub in Didsbury has raised £5,000 for a local children’s hospice. Customers and staff at the Fletcher Moss in Didsbury have worked hard this year to generate funds for the Francis House Children's Hospice.
Manager of the Fletcher Moss, Martin Devlin, has been a keen supporter of Francis House since he became manager of the Hydes Brewery-owned pub, more than 12 years ago.
Martin estimates that over the years, around £30k has been raised to support the hospice and the work that it does in the community.
Fundraising activities include ticket sales from weekly quiz entries and Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fundraising events.
