A HOSPICE that serves the Potters Bar area has taken its fundraising drive online.
Staff were inspired to turn to auction site eBay after being donated a signed first edition of the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The book had been given to the hospice by one of the author’s relatives, a hospice supporter from the Watford area, who has asked to remain anonymous.
Author JK Rowling signed the book for the winner, and watched the bids clock up on the website.
The book was sold to an overseas bidder who paid £4,500 just before Christmas.
And since then staff have been using the auction website to sell items donated to them and have managed to raise £8,000.
