A HOSPICE is celebrating an early Christmas gift.
The Butterwick Hospice has been given a vehicle to transport patients to its care centres and on festive outings.
Reg Vardy Fiat has loaned a Fiat Ulysee people carrier to the charity, which cares for youngsters and adults at centres in Bishop Auckland and Stockton. It also runs a palliative home care team with Durham Dales and Sedgefield Primary Care Trusts and Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Ray Laidler, trust manager at the hospice, said: "This will be of great help, bringing patients into the hospice and taking them on outings."
