The trust's commercial director for the North West, Richard Marsh, visited Daisy's offices, on the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate, Nelson, on Monday to be presented with a cheque for £7,426.

The money had been raised following fundraising activities undertaken between April and October this year.

At the beginning of October Daisy organised a charity raffle, raising £3,000 after donating a signed England shirt, signed football and a bottle of champagne.

In addition, the communication firm donated an additional £4,426 after pledging to donate £1 for every customer that signed up for e-billing, a campaign aimed at converting the company's 20,000-strong customer base from paper bills to a more environmentally friendly alternative.
