SIR, On behalf of CHAS and the Tweeddale Friends of CHAS (Children’s Hospice Association Scotland), I would like to thank Tesco staff and customers for their very generous response to the bucket shake held in the Peebles store on Friday, October 10.

The sum of just over £276 was raised, which will be greatly appreciated by all those families who value the support given to them at Rachel House, Robin House and through the CHAS at Home service.

I am, etc.

Isobel Morrison Tweedbank Ley Innerleithen
