A bank helped raise £700 for a hospice when staff took part in a bike ride.

TSB, in Watford, supported Peace Hospice Care in Prospect rive, Watford, during the Prudential RideLondon.

David Wing, the bank manager, joined thousands of cyclists in the festival.

He said: “Peace Hospice Care is a vital part of our local community and we’re really proud to have them as our Local Charity Partner.

“I have worked hard putting in a lot of time and dedication to make the cycle and fund raising a success. I really enjoyed the day, despite the weather, and it is fantastic to know the difference that my efforts will make.”

Gemma Shortman, corporate account manager at Peace Hospice Care said: “We are hugely grateful to TSB and its local Partners in Watford.

"The money they are raising alongside their general support is helping us to deliver really important services in Hertfordshire."
