“The money will enable us to buy a new wardrobe for the parents’ room, which is currently being refurbished to make their stay on the ward more comfortable.”

David Redden, Charity Steward at Chicheley Lodge said: “The money was raised through a Rock ‘n’ Roll night and a raffle.  We raised £150 and this was enhanced by The Pro Grand Charity enabling us to give £300.

“We wanted to support a local charity and the ‘dreamdrops’ charity is such a worthwhile organisation.”

Money raised through ‘dreamdrops’ is used to provide additional items for the Special Care Baby Unit and Children’s Ward, as well as children who are cared for at home.
