Donations
and Fundraising - Thank You
Over the last
month we received approximately £1630 through many kind donations
and various fundraising events. This included £1500 raised
by Fiona Kenny who organised a ball in Torphicen.. Hamish is currently
pulling together information on the income / expenditure since FACE
began - from before we linked up with the Endowment office.
How
FACE Is Going To Help
We
received a number of requests and over the weeks ahead will provide
for the oncology wards in the WGH (1) 20 permalux duvets and 80-100
duvet covers for Ward 5 and (2) a new profiling bed for Ward 4.
The order for new duvets in Ward 3 is on hold - while the ward is
redecorated.
For Queen Margaret
we are progressing with them the provision of (1) 3 new profiling
beds and (2) 6 Parker Knoll reclining chairs.
For the Borders
General arrangements are being made for FACE to supply fresh flowers
for the new Oncology unit and daily newspapers. Fiona is also liaising
with Sue Cruikshank re a new bed.

mattress and fleece covers for Barbara Lyle - earmarking funds donated
by Lothian & Borders CID. Hamish continues to work on the FACE
