LEIGHTON Hospital’s cardiac ward has announced the launch of its 2018 charity calendar.

The idea was conceived by ward manager Bernadette Parry who wanted to conduct a fundraising activity that would enhance the provision of healthcare.

Proceeds raised from the sale will go to the Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity and will pay for recliner chairs for the cardiac ward.

Carole Salmon, community fundraiser for Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity, said: “This is a great initiative by Bernadette and we are very grateful for all the effort that she and the staff members of the Cardiac Ward have contributed.

“This is a fantastic example of how a fun idea can help to raise much needed funds which will make a real difference to heart patients treated here at Leighton.”

Priced at £5. Calendars are available at the hospital.
