A WINCHESTER charity has been boosted by a donation from a local bank.
The Joe Glover Trust (tJGT) received a cheque from £6,500 from The Abbey Bank. The charity was set up in memory of Joe Glover, pictured, from Colden Common, who battled a rare form of cancer before his death in 2006.
Lynne Ball, representing Abbey, presented the cheque to Georgia Allen, twin sister of Marnie, who died of a brain tumour in 2005, aged five, and spent time in hospital with Joe.
The donation has helped tJGT to complete an IT entertainment project for the children being treated at the Piam Brown cancer ward at Southampton General Hospital.
Part of the money from the Abbey will go towards educational software, making it easier for children to maintain their studies.
