As Friends of South Hams Hospital, we have recently launched our new website, www.shhlof.co.uk, where you can see our latest news and developments at the hospital.

There are details of the new digital X-ray machine, which is proving of great value to local patients, with a letter from Livewell, the hospital operator, thanking us for our major financial contribution. As it is nearing the time for New Year’s resolutions, we are inviting interest from local people to assist as volunteers or trustee committee members.

It can be very rewarding to support the local hospital by raising funds and managing projects to extend its services and support patients and staff.

Details are shown on our website or you could telephone me on 01548 857507.
