A FLORIST is celebrating the 10th anniversary of her business by supporting Halton Haven.
Paula Forbes from Widnes is organising a charity raffle for the hospice.
The winner will receive a bouquet of flowers worth £25 delivered to their home every month for 10 months.
Mum-of-two Paula, aged 39, opened About Flowers in Warrington Road, Halton View on January 31, 2005.
She studied at Halton and St Helens colleges and continues to attend workshops and courses.
In the past decade she has employed more than 30 staff.
Paula, from Ditton, who recently collected coats for the homeless, said: “I am delighted we have reached this milestone and can only thank our customers for getting us here.
“I want to give something back to the community.
“The hospice is close to the hearts of everyone in Widnes and Runcorn.
“It is a fantastic facility and needs our support.”
Tickets priced £2 are available from her shop, online at about-flowers.co.uk and from the hospice shops.
Closing date is February 20.
