Friends in Leiston are supporting a local hospice by adopting a four-foot high hare

Leiston Meeting has hopped onto a unique outreach opportunity, adopting a four-foot high young hare, and supporting St Elizabeth’s Hospice in Ipswich. The hare is one of thirty-eight being adopted by Suffolk organisations, each of which is tasked with raising £650 for the hospice, then decorating their hare before they form a ‘hare trail’ around Ipswich this spring.
