LAW firm Dickinson Dees is calling on North-East businesses to help raise thousands of pounds for a hospice by signing up to a challenge to convert £100 into as much money as possible.

The challenge will start at the beginning of August, when businesses from across the region will be given £100 each by Newcastle-based Dickinson Dees to invest, to raise vital funds for St Oswald’s Hospice in the process.

Robin Bloom, senior partner at Dickinson Dees, said: “This challenge is designed to test the investment and planning strategies of the local business community, while supporting a very worthy cause.”
