Give cost of a cuppa to help Forth Valley Royal Hospital

People are being asked to consider donating the cost of their morning cup of coffee or afternoon tea to a local charity.

The Friends of Forth Valley Royal Hospital is a registered charity. Money raised is used to make hospital stays more comfortable for patients and their families.

It also provides equipment for healthcare staff to treat and care for patients.

As well as supporting the hospital and staff during the coronavirus outbreak, the charity continues to provide funding as normal.

However, like all charities the members are finding it difficult to fundraise at the moment but hope, with all the cafes closed, people would consider donating the money they would normally spend.

Friends chairperson Janis Haston said: “We are continuing to support the patients and staff with equipment to stimulate the mind and also donating requested juice for the patients who at this time have no visitors to take this in.

“We can only support the community and main hospital at this time through the generosity of the public. We would like to thank you in advance for your

continuing support.”

To make a donation online visit our website at www.friendsfvrh.org.

Donations can also be made at the TSB, Sort code 30-25-86 A/c 11533568.
