League of Friends Heatherwood 2014 Xmas Cheer
In more recent times Heatherwood hospital has undergone some enormous changes to it's delivered services. Wards and departments have come and gone, but still providing much needed support for those departments and staff is the league of friends.
In 1965 the league of friends presented £50 to the hospital to be used for Christmas cheer.
Forty nine years later, once again warmly received by staff, the league takes great pleasure from continuing this annual event.
This year four volunteers Pauline Richardson Lesley Simm Peter and Dorothea Standley wandered the wards and corridors of Heatherwood distributing the Christmas fund envelopes to all the wards and departments.
Each year a list is drawn up by the trust of wards and departments still working at Heatherwood, once this is passed to the league the current years allocation could get underway.Wards & Departments are free to use the money how they wish.
A total of £700 was distributed this year.
