BARNSLEY Hospice has found a novel way to help fundraise for the charity in honour of World Book Day.

A read-a-thon bingo has been created and includes everything from reading for one hour straight to writing a book review.

Anyone wanting to take part will have to be sponsored for each space on the bingo board.

A spokesperson for the hospice said: “In the spirit of World Book Day, why not dust off your pile of books and get reading for Barnsley Hospice?

“We have developed a read-a-thon bingo and we challenge you to help raise vital funds for the hospice, whilst getting sponsored to tick each part of the challenge off your list.”

To take part email fundraising@barnsley-hospice.org.
