Patients on a ward at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Ely are hoping for some extra comforts this winter time with the help of a fundraising raffle.

Sue Richardson, manager of the Welney Ward, which is a rehabilitation ward for older patients, said they have been overwhelmed by the generosity of businesses and individuals who have donated some ‘great’ prizes.

Luxury hampers, meals, bottles of wine and a whole lot more have been donated.

Now Sue says they are hoping the public will support the raffle by buying a strip of tickets for £1 each, they are available from the ward.

All the money raised will got towards things to make patients more comfortable during their hospital stay.

The draw takes place on Monday December 19.
