Congratulations to our 14 families whose children are making their First Communion this Sunday.

LEAGUE OF FRIENDS OF BUXTON HOSPITALS
We are currently looking for new members to join the committee of the League of Friends of Buxton Hospitals. We meet on the last Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm at Buxton Cottage Hospital. We support the hospitals by providing items that the National Health cannot provide. At present we only have patients in the Cavendish hospital. We provide daily papers and toiletries. We also provide specialist items. At present we are in contact with other Leagues to provide Hovermats. When a patient falls, they cannot be lifted and have to wait for an ambulance. The mat is placed underneath them, the lifting gear is automatically activated and mat rises. These mats are quite expensive, and by joining with the other leagues we can negotiate a better price. The Sister in charge would like to have a designated room fitted out so that family or friends can stay in the hospital overnight when a patient is having palliative care. We are working with her to bring this about. In the summer we provide planters with flowers for the garden where the patients sit out. At Christmas we decorate the hospital and have a party with presents. Last year we had St Anne’s children’s choir. That was really enjoyable. We raise funds by having Raffles and selling books and we are always open to new suggestions for fundraising. We also have donations given and bequeath to us. I hope this has given you some idea of what the League does. It is not too great a commitment for general committee members. For further information please contact Cora Plant on 01298 25433.
