Generous donations from the community

Plymouth Hospitals Charity has received some incredibly generous donations recently from members of the community. We would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to those who have given up their time to raise money for important causes across the hospital.

Generous donation from ASDA thanks to shopper’s votes

ASDA Staff from ASDA visited the hospital recently to present a cheque for £500 to Birch and Bracken wards.

These specialist wards at Derriford Hospital, which support people who are undergoing treatment for cancer, were nominated by the public as part of ASDA’s Green Token Giving Programme.

The programme gives the public the chance to vote for money to be donated to three different causes. A cheque for £500 is donated to the cause with the most votes, with the runners up receiving £200 each.

Plymouth Hospital’s Charity Manager, Corinne Bailey, said: “This donation is wonderful and we'd like to thank the customers of Asda for their generosity and support.”

The money that ASDA has generously donated will be used to purchase new equipment on the wards.
