Children's Hospice South West has received a donation of £1,100.

Norman Armstrong-Kersh, chief executive of charity Life for a Life, presented the cheque to Karen Willis, the head of fundraising (East) for the hospice at Charlton Farm, Wraxall, North Somerset.

Donations for Life for a Life have now reached £11,240.

It is a registered environmental charity that specialises in planting native British trees. The money raised from the initiative is returned to the community by way of donations to a local charity. The cremated ashes of loved ones are usually interred beneath the trees at any of the charity's sites.

The forests at Chew Valley and Blagdon Lakes are not cemeteries but are there to celebrate life, the charity says.
