Gillian Merron MP for Lincoln mad a visit to Chamber Member St Barnabas hospice to present a cheque for £300.
The City MP, who turned 50 earlier this year, asked for donations to be made to this important local hospice, instead of presents for her big day.
Gillian Merron MP said, “St Barnabas is a much loved local charity and I am personally grateful for the work they have done in offering support and care to a number of friends of mine when they needed it most.
“It seemed fitting that I use my 50th birthday to raise funds for St Barnabas who have my continued support.”
