Hospices serving terminally-ill children from Essex are celebrating a £20,000 payout.

Both East Anglia Children's Hospices (Each) and Little Havens Children's Hospice have received £10,000 each from the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Little Havens Children's Hospice, near Southend, offers care to terminally-ill children from across Essex and London.

Head of fundraising Louise Gloyne described the donation as "wonderful".

"We are very, very pleased to receive this money, which will be used to pay the running costs of the hospice and nurses' salaries," she said.
