Kathryn Smith, HR Manager at Armstrong Medical, said: “Our staff have been committed to raising funds for Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice since they learned of the vital service provided there. We are very proud of all everyone for their efforts and were delighted to hand over a cheque for such a substantial amount to them.”
