Staff from the Brandon and Clyde wards at Udston Hospital were delighted to receive six CD players, two radios, meal vouchers, juice and water from Joanne Murray, manager of the Empire Bar, Hamilton, and patron Colin McNab, as a thank you for the money raised at a charity night held on 19 September.

The event saw an amazing £600 raised. The gifts will be split between the Brandon and Clyde wards and will go towards providing much enjoyment for both staff and patients.

Elizabeth (Liz) Kennedy, senior charge nurse, Brandon ward, said: “I’d like to thank Joanne Murray, the manager at the Empire Bar, for holding the charity night and raising such a tremendous amount. I really appreciate the kindness of everyone who donated on the night.

“This is a wonderful donation and one which is greatly appreciated by both our staff and patients.”
