Singer Samantha Hawkins raised money for St Barnabas House hospice with her live stream singalong on VE Day from her front garden in Angmering. She said: “I had never done one before, so was all completely new. I am thrilled that the local community and businesses got on board with me and I’ve so far raised more than £800. It particularly struck a chord with me how worrying it must be at this time with a life-limiting illness in isolation and how valued the staff and volunteers must be at the hospice.”
