CHELMSFORD: MKM Building Supplies is running a competition to raise money for Little Havens Children's Hospice.

Andrew Pine and Richard Cummings, directors at the merchant, chose Little Havens as the company's charity of the year and started fund raising with All Mixed up - a competition where customers can guess how many stones are inside a cement mixer.

Mr Pine said: "We hope to raise much needed funds and build greater awareness of the care the hospice provides to seriously ill children and their families."
