Milton Keynes Sands Thank you's!
Thank
you so very much to all our wonderful parents who helped to fundraise
for the bereavement room on Labour ward at Milton
Keynes Hospital, the room is now complete and being used. All of your
efforts are very much appreciated, Jane, Pip and Christelle.
On behalf
of the maternity team at MK Hospital
we would like to send our sincere and grateful thanks to our local
SANDS group
for fundraising so effectively and being so generous with their contributions
in the refurbishment of the Butterfly suite on labour ward. I am sure
we all know how important the environment is to the service we give our
families. Every donation be it money or time (or cupcakes!) that went
towards this new area is appreciated by our staff and I am sure will
be by the parents who may sadly need to use it.
