St Mary’s was delighted to be presented with a donation for £10000 from the estate of the late Mr Colin Dale. The funds were officially handed over to the nursing team at St Mary’s on Wednesday 20th July by Mr Dale's wife Jeanette. Mrs Dale explained that Colin wanted to give something back to St Mary’s for all the loving care that he had received during his illness. The funds are to be used to purchase two new mattresses for the inpatient unit to support those patients that are unable to get out of bed and new uniforms for all the nursing staff.
It wouldn’t have been possible to purchase the new equipment without this generous gift. It costs over £2 million to run all St Mary’s services each year and the majority of the income has to be raised from voluntary sources.
Making a Will is an important responsibility that can secure the future of your family and loved ones. To make a Will is to take a step towards ensuring that those you care for are properly provided for financially.
When making your Will, please consider St Mary's if you are making any charitable provisions. The care we provide for local people is beyond price for those who benefit and your legacy will help us continue to provide that care. You can be assured that all funds given to St Mary’s will be spent locally and will support someone in your community.
The importance of legacies to our funding cannot be over-emphasised. They constitute one of our largest single sources of income making a massive contribution to our ability to have a positive effect on so many people's lives. Whether you have personal knowledge of the care we provide or just want to support those with a life limiting illness, you can make a real difference when you generously leave a legacy to St Mary’s.
