A group of people with a giant cheque.

Airedale Hospital has received a generous donation of £8,000 from Sovereign Health Care, a West Yorkshire based cash-plan provider, as part of its long-standing relationship with the hospital to support the health and well-being of local people.

Sovereign’s donation was warmly welcomed by Airedale Hospital and Community Charity, the dedicated charity of Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.  Jodie Hearnshaw, charity manager, comments:

“We want to say a huge thank you to Sovereign for this donation, which enables us to fund projects that are over and above NHS provision.  This means that we can continue to provide the added extras that really make a huge difference to patient care, employee well-being and community services for the Airedale community.”

Deborah Fox, Deputy Chief Nurse at Airedale Hospital said:

“We are extremely thankful for this generous donation, some of which will go towards enhancing nurse training, as well as providing extra equipment for patient treatment.”

Sovereign’s Chief Executive, Neil McCallum, adds:

“We’re delighted our donation will help to support nurse training and the provision of additional equipment to the Trust – both of which will make a huge difference to patient care.”
