Cake for Beds at Friday Coffee Morning 20th Oct 2023.

A big thank you to all those who supported our ‘Cakes for Beds’ fundraiser to buy new beds and mattresses for The Methodist Hospital in Sierra Leone.

Half way through the morning. Many cakes being enjoyed with coffee/tea and those above were bought as people departed.

Hospital Beds and mattresses, which couldn’t be sourced in Sierra Leone, cost £250 each to be bought and shipped, We raised and sent off enough for almost 2 beds. (50 required).

A magnificent response from all who contributed. Thank you.
