All the staff on the ward want to raise money to support this cause, as they all know someone who has been affected by the disease.

In the last year the ward has supported Save The Children’s ‘Christmas Jumper Day’, held a Christmas Hamper raffle giving the proceeds to the League of Friends, and recently had a very successful cake sale in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society, raising £182.77.
