They were met with deputy sister, Chelsea and senior nursing assistant, Debbie for the handover.

This ward is very close to the heart of the club as two of the club past members, Dean McCann and Sam Mitchell were in their care.

The funds raised will go to helping buy equipment and help them with any cost needed in providing treatment to their patients.

A massive thank you to everyone who attended the annual tractor/truck run and donated to the charity, it was more than appreciated.
