Mr Scholes said: “As a Melton-based business, we are thrilled to be able to help again.

“This is a long-term relationship - Dove Cottage means a lot to all of us in the local area”

It’s the second time the Vale of Belvoir hospice has received a grant from the foundation.

Two years ago they donated money to fund dementia services for a year.
