Members of the Dacorum Machinery and Steam Preservation Group arrived aboard a tractor and in a campervan to hand over £6,000.

Chairman Martin Ginger said: "The money was raised during the last weekend in July at the Dacorum Steam County Fair in Potten End. We hold the steam rally every year and all the proceeds go directly to the hospice.

"It is a good local charity and a lot of our members are getting on in years so we know various relations who have been cared for by the hospice."

Members travelled to the hospice in Shootersway, Berkhamsted in a Bedford Dormobile - a 1960s campervan and a Super County Ford Tractor.

The charity provides care to people with life limiting illnesses across North West Herts and the Chiltern area of Bucks.

It is not yet know exactly what the money will be spent on but £6,000 is enough to pay for six weeks of nursing care for a patient staying in the hospice.

Community fundraising manager Harriet Karia said: "This is the second year that this group has done this event. They're just amazing, they do it all in their own time.

"Without groups like them, we wouldn't be able to raise the money we need to run this service."
