A big thank you to Sue Adkins for donating £900 to the Stroke Unit, raised from an Afternoon Tea Weekend.
Spending a whole day baking in an unbearably hot kitchen while we were in the grip of a tropical heatwave was just one element of the incredibly hard work Sue Adkins put into her fundraising event this July.
Sue held an Afternoon Tea Weekend to raise money for two charities.
She kindly chose the Stroke Unit at NGH to benefit from half of the money raised and has donated a fantastic £900 to the unit!
The wide range of cakes and treats available looked delicious!
As well as over 90 afternoon teas sold, a raffle was held with some fabulous prizes.
As much as we could have done with a proper drop of rain the wonderful summer weather helped to make for a really pleasant two days and a fantastic achievement to have raised so much money for good causes.
Sue's daughter has fundraised for various charities in the past and they like to support different ones each time.
They chose the Stroke Unit as a thank you to the amazing staff who treated and cared for the partner of Sue’s sister Lesley, who had a stroke back in January last year.
Sue recently came in with Lesley to present a cheque for the £900 to Vicki Moore, Ward Sister on Eleanor Ward.
One of a number of things the Stroke Unit are looking to purchase includes special cutlery for stroke patients.
Thank you so much to Sue and to everyone involved!
