TWO Whitchurch sisters have spoken about their passionate support for the hospice that looked after their borther in his final days.
Gill Collins and June Jackson have supported the hospice since their brother David Evans passed away in 2010.
The sisters have raised over £2112, volunteered at events, donated items, and promoted Nightingale House services to patients living with a life-limiting condition and the sisters spoke about why they've continued with their support.
June who volunteers in the Nightingales Store in Whitchurch said: "Nightingale House Hospice is a charity that is dear to our hearts.
"Our brother was looked after very well by the hospice in Wrexham.
"We wanted to be able to give back to them."

Gill added: "I’ve been here since the Nightingales store in Whitchurch opened in 2015, and I just loved it from the first moment.
"It's great that my sister has joined me in volunteering here as well.
"I love being around all the people, helping sell the items we have and explaining to them about the services the hospice provides."
Gill was recently promoted to supervisor at the Nightingales Whitchurch store and has devoted one day each week away from her full-time job as a speech and language therapist.
Head of retail, Katie Roberts praised the sisters for their contribution.
She said: "Gill and her sister June have kindly donated their time to the hospice for many years even when they have been busy in their personal lives.
"They are active promoters of the hospice and are committed to raising as much money as possible.
"I would like to personally thank them and on behalf of the hospice for their commitment and generosity over the years and hope both of them continue to support us for many years to come."
