A team of tireless fundraisers from the University of Derby Buxton presented Buxton Volunteer Centre with a cheque for £150 this week.
Staff from the University's Student Administration Team raise money for charity each week by holding dress-down days and making regular personal donations. They handed over a cheque from their recent fundraising activity to Carole Gregory and Jackie Redfern from Buxton Volunteer Centre on February 17.
One of the fundraisers, Administration Assistant Lesley Norton, said: "We are donating this money to the Home Support Service as one of our team has had recent personal experience with their work and we wanted to say thank you, and give something back."
Carole Gregory, Buxton Home Support Co-ordinator at the Buxton Volunteer Centre, said: "We are really grateful for this cheque and thankful for the fundraising efforts of these University staff. The Home Support Service is just one of our services; through it we provide care for the elderly in their own homes. This money will go towards developing the service and will help to enhance its quality."
