NATWEST in the South East is supporting Demelza House Children’s Hospice as its regional charity for 2005.

NatWest staff across the region have decided to adopt a Demelza Nurse and will raise enough money to cover their salary for at least a year.

Through its Community Cashback Scheme NatWest has committed to doubling the money raised.

To launch its support and kick-start the fund raising, staff from NatWest’s Maidstone branch completed a gruelling eight-hour cycle challenge on a stationary bike to raise just over £1,000.
