A "REMARKABLE" fundraiser has baked her way to raising more than £100,000 for a hospice.

Doreen Hosey MBE, aged 87, is celebrating the landmark achievement for Oakhaven Hospice but has no intention of stopping anytime soon.

The hospice described Mrs Hosey as “probably our most remarkable individual fundraiser ever”.

Mrs Hosey, who sells her products at Fawley Square, said: “To be honest, I never thought I’d reach the £100,000. When I started off, I think I made just over £1,000 but then I decided I wanted to raise more and more.

“It just kept going. Because I promised to raise money for the hospice, it spurred me on to keep baking and fundraising.

“It gives me a lot of pleasure and as long as my health continues, I will.”

As well as cakes, Mrs Hosey is renowned for selling her own chutneys and marmalades, as well as bric-a-brac.

A spokesperson for Oakhaven said her “enthusiasm for fundraising for us has been amazing”.

They added: “When she set out on this project all those years ago she had no idea that it would end with a total like this, but once it was in sight there was no stopping her – she was always going to hit the six-figure mark.

“Oakhaven would like to thank her for her dedication; her fundraising efforts have helped us to support those in the New Forest and Waterside areas who have received a palliative diagnosis through our range of specialist services."
