The charity team at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals has thanked the Orsett Show for their ongoing support.
Following last year’s successful show, Georgina Clark, Orsett show secretary presented admiral nurse Jane Gilby with a cheque for £1,250 for the Butterfly Appeal, to enhance the care for patients living with dementia.
The Polly Parrot Appeal for children’s services has been chosen as charity of the year for this year’s Orsett Show.
Clair Grayston, charity team member, said; “We are so grateful for the donation to the Butterfly Appeal and thrilled that the Orsett Show have pledged their continued support.
“The money will pay for improvements to the services and environment, which really does make such a huge difference to our patients and their experience.”
