A CHARITY is continuing to celebrate 21 years of caring for people with life-threatening illnesses.
Harris HospisCare was founded in 1984 by Beryl McGrath in a disused Second World War hut at Orpington Hospital, Sevenoaks Road, Bromley The charity has grown since the early days and last year cared for 1,225 patients.
It moved into its new building, Caritas House, Tregony Road, Orpington, in March.
Spokesman Carol Walters said: "Without the support of the community and volunteers we could not give the best care possible."
The charity held a balloon race in September to mark its birthday and the winning balloon was found in Sweden.
An anniversary concert in Chelsfield Village Hall, Bucks Cross Road, Chelsfield, on November 18 raised £305 for the charity's work.
