GOLDEN Square joined forces with St Rocco's Hospice to help raise £32,000 at a charity ball.

The glittering event at Mere Golf and Country Club, near Knutsford, attracted hundreds of special guests including Warrington Mayor Clr Celia Jordan and Warrington Guardian editor Nicola Priest.

David Finnegan's Commitments entertained the crowd and top prizes were on offer at the auction block.

Ian Cox, Golden Square marketing manager, said: "We know the financial boost will benefit the hospice no end and allow staff and volunteers to continue to provide vital care for cancer patients and their families."
