A SWIMMING club made a real splash when they raised £1,000 for Bury Hospice.

Mervyn Reeves, fundraising manager for the hospice, said: "We are delighted to have the swim club's support and are very glad that Betty decided to continue with the raffle, which has raised so much money for the hospice.
