Radiotherapy tea bar raises over £10,000 in a matter of months!
The Radiotherapy tea bar is open five days a week and sells a selection of hot drinks, biscuits and sandwiches for patients to enjoy whilst waiting for their appointments. All profits from the tea bar go directly towards providing ‘added extras’ for the Radiotherapy department, over and above what the NHS can provide.
The tea bar is now celebrating having raised an incredible £10,000 in less than a year! The tea bar is run by volunteers, Sukh Devi, Jean Mannan and Liz Moran, who combined have volunteered in the department for 47 years!
Carol Cole, Radiotherapy Administrator said: “Everybody loves the tea bar, we get so many patients coming through our department and due to the nature of the procedures many have to stay for a long time and so being able to have a cup of tea and a biscuit and chat to the our lovely volunteers can really take their minds off being in hospital.’
