ELDERLY patients at Barnsley Hospital will have their ward experiences improved thanks to a five-figure grant from a local supermarket.
The £10,000 donation, from the Morrisons Foundation, was celebrated by the Barnsley Hospital Charity this week as it will pay for new televisions, furniture, games and soft furnishings - all helping to create a family room for visitors.
Jane Mills, from the hospital, said: “We’re so pleased to have received such a generous grant from Morrisons Foundation.
“It will help enormously in transforming our care on the elderly ward into a space suitable for patients living with dementia and their visitors.
“We’re now one step closer to making the transformation a reality and we would like to thank Morrisons Foundation for being a part of making this project possible.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
