FANS of Robbie Williams are raising money for the Donna Louise Children's Hospice Trust.

Members of Robbie Williams Fansites United, which was formed last year, are backing the Trentham Lakes-based hospice after hearing their idol talk about the charity's 10th birthday, which was celebrated earlier this month. The group has set up on an online sponsorship page and is promoting the work of the hospice in Robbie forums.

Last year, the fansites raised almost £2,000 for Unicef and the British Heart Foundation on Robbie's behalf.

Geraldine Knott , of Bristol, said: "The fansites wanted to do something specific for Robbie and with this being in Stoke-on-Trent, it seemed a good cause."
