A business in Barrow is giving a full day's earnings to a local charity in memory of the owner's dad.

Ultimate Auto Locksmiths, found on Ashburner Way, will be giving all the money they make on Sunday, September 22 to St Mary's Hospice in Ulverston.

This is being done to mark the anniversary of Mike Ritchie's death, the father of Chris who runs the business.

It will also be done on November 15, Mr Ritchie's birthday.

Mike was cared for by St Mary's 'Hospice at Home' team in 2022 with Chris now looking to repay the charity for the work they did.

He said: "Their care, warmth and support they gave us as a family was absolutely amazing.

"We have pledged that on these dates (September 22 and November 15) every year we are in business, we will work for free.

"Every penny we earn will go to St Mary's Hospice on these dates for as long as we are in business - we will provide the fuel, the keys and our services to our customers and every single penny earned will be donated to the hospice team."
