Speaking last week before the van failed its MOT, the hospice's head of retail Lily Caswell said: “We have had the current van for a long time now.
“It has started to be unreliable and it has a few mechanical quirks which are manageable at the moment but make life a bit difficult for our delivery team.”

Lily added: “Any organisation that donates towards the new van will have their logo and company name displayed on it, showing the local community that the company has supported this much-loved local charity and providing free advertising wherever the van is driving around Buckinghamshire.”
