AN accountancy firm hopes its fundraising efforts will add up for Manorlands.

Watson Buckle has chosen the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice as its charity of the year.

But the Bradford-based company is no stranger to supporting the cause.

Last year, corporate services manager Selina Armitage helped coin-in £41,000 for Manorlands by taking part in a charity challenge day at the Coniston Hotel, Coniston Cold.

And she has previously run in the hospice's Keighley BigK 10k.

The Watson Buckle team is hoping to participate in several fundraising sporting events and is planning activities such as coffee mornings and dress-down days.

Managing director, Susan Sedgwick, said: "I am delighted to announce Sue Ryder Manorlands hospice as our charity of the year.

"The team is immensely proud to be helping this wonderful charity, which provides much-needed support to people with life-limiting illnesses from across the region."

Selina added: "Sue Ryder is a charity which is very close to my heart and I am looking forward to getting involved with more fundraising activities for Manorlands over the course of 2018."
