Chemotherapy Appeal for Dorset County Hospital given a boost
And it's come from the Co-op
Dorset County Hospital Charity's Chemotherapy Appeal has received a boost following a donation from the Co-op Local Community Fund.
The donation of £2,555.34 comes from the scheme run by the Dorchester and Crossways Co-op stores and the Dorchester branch of Co-op Funeralcare.
Every time Co-op members and customers buy selected products or services a small donation is made to the fund. This follows an earlier donation which brings the total amount raised by this scheme to £3,334.04.
The donation will support the Charity's Chemotherapy Appeal which is raising money to fund major improvements in the hospital's existing Chemotherapy unit. This will provide enhanced patient choice and improve facilities to patients undergoing treatment. One of the main benefits of the appeal will be that family and friends will be able to sit with patients while they are receiving treatment.
The Co-op supports organisations that make a difference in their local communities in a number of ways including promoting health and wellbeing.
A spokesman for Dorset County Hospital the Charity said:
"We would like to thank all Co-op customers and the Co-op Community Teams for their ongoing support. Your help makes a big difference!"
