A COUNTY golf club has donated more than £1,000 to a ward at Worcestershire Royal Hospital in memory of one of its members.
The Portobello International Golf Society, known as ‘the PIGS’, recently presented the Intensive Critical Care Unit (ICCU) with a cheque for £1,120, which they raised by hosting a charity golf tournament in memory of former member Ian Morrison, who was cared for on the unit.
The club, based at Worcester Golf Club, supported Ian’s family to raise the funds in appreciation of the fantastic care he received, before he passed away earlier this year.
The money donated to the ICCU will be used to provide improved facilities for families and visitors to the unit.
Sarah Bird, Ian’s daughter, said: “We really wanted to come in and thank the team involved with my dad’s care in person. They all made it so peaceful and respectful.
“We knew he was in safe hands. We’re so thankful for the great care they gave dad and we just want the team to know how much we valued it.”
Stephanie Beasley, divisional director of nursing for the ward, said: “We really appreciate any donation and to be able to go back to the ward and tell everyone about this is brilliant.
“Getting feedback from families is so important and it means so much to us to hear positive comments from the family of a patient.”
