Richard House Children’s Hospice is in the running to win £50,000 - and it needs your vote.

The Beckton hospice is one of six charities to be shortlisted for the donation by website Compare the Market’s Great British Switch campaign.

Following a public nomination period on Twitter, which saw 1,000 different organisations put forward, a panel of judges narrowed it down to just six.

Lyn Brown MP said: “Richard House Children’s Hospice does fantastic work and provides invaluable services to people in West Ham.

“£50,000 is a significant amount of funding and could make such a difference to so many people’s lives.”
