Quiz night fun in aid of ward's palliative care fund
Posted on: 2nd November 2017
Team members from Scotter Ward at John Coupland Hospital, Gainsborough, received the cheque from the Rotary Club of Gainsborough following a successful quiz night at the town's Weston Rooms.
"The palliative care fund is a cause we have been aware of for some time," explained Rotarian Fred Kirkman. "The idea for a quiz night grew after we had a talk from Donna and Di from the ward. We knew we wanted to do something to help them. It's also a cause close to us with one of our members having previously received care on Scotter Ward."
The quiz night, attended by about 80 guests, collected £500.
Donna Phillips, Clinical Team Lead on Scotter Ward for Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, said: "Thank you to the Rotary Club of Gainsborough for their donation. Having joined members at the quiz, it's great to know everyone is having such a fantastic time while supporting the ward and a cause which, once finished, will make a real difference to people living in our local community."
