May I extend my sincere thanks to the volunteers in the League of Friends shop and tea bar at Southlands Hospital.

The work they do is appreciated not only by patients and visitors but also the staff.

They go out of their way to make everyone so welcome. They turn out in all weathers throughout the year.

May I also say a big thank you to everyone who visits and supports the shop and tea bar.

It is through that support that we can offer much needed equipment and facilities to the patients and outpatients.

Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Malcolm Brett Chairman,

League of Friends Southlands Hospital
