The running costs of St Gemma’s Hospice are forecast to be around £11million over the next financial year.
This year, just 28 per cent of St Gemma’s running costs will be covered by the NHS, leaving a 72 per cent shortfall.
The charity will raise the cash through donations, gifts left in wills, fundraising initiatives, a lottery and its chain of charity shops.

He added: “St Gemma’s is such an amazing local charity that has touched the hearts of so many people in the community, being there for families at a really difficult time.
"We wanted to show support through this dish on our menu and hopefully raise some extra awareness to the incredible work this charity does.”
