And it is all
thanks to generous Rokib Ali, the owner of Biplob, in Wood Street,
Swindon, who has agreed to donate 10 per cent of the proceeds from
every takeaway order made at the restaurant for the next three months.
"We
decided to give 10 per cent as we want to help the Prospect@Home
charity - the campaign has been running since the weekend and we've
already raised £70," he said.
The restaurant
is also offering a 10 per cent discount to customers on their
takeaway but if they choose to waive that, a full 20 per cent will go
to the charity.
The Swindon
Advertiser has backed the Prospect@Home appeal since it was launched
last autumn by the Prospect Hospice, and the Get Together idea should
bring in even more.
The idea
behind Prospect@Home is to fund a team of nurses and carers who will
offer the expert care already available at Prospect Hospice, but in
people's own homes.
This means
people can stay at home for as long as they wish, rather than be
admitted to the hospice or hospital, as so often happens now.
Mr Ali is
hoping the restaurant will be able to raise up to £200 for the campaign.
He said:
"We hope people will take the opportunity to have a good meal
and help charity."
