“We are so grateful for the support we have continued to receive from our community and from groups like Chesterfield MG Group”

Chesterfield MG Group has donated £800 to Chesterfield Royal Hospital Trust Charity which will be used to support patient care in the NGS Macmillan Centre at the Royal.

John Wilson, past President of the group, said: “Every year we have a road run, and the funds are donated to a charity which is decided by our committee. The run is the main one of the year, and we elected that the funds raised would go to Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

“Our runs go round the Peak District; it’s a beautiful area and people like to drive around it. All contributors pay an entry fee, and they get a route and a board that goes on the car and then whatever is left goes to charity.

“We chose Chesterfield Royal Hospital Trust Charity because it’s local and a lot of people - myself included - have been treated here so it’s important to us, we value your services and we want to give something back.”

Sheree Hall Divisional Lead Nurse for Cancer Services said: “I would like to say thank you to everyone at Chesterfield MG Group and everyone who supported them. This very kind donation will really help to support patient care. Through donations like this we can continue to support complementary therapies which we deliver in the NGS Macmillan unit – it’s the nearest free complimentary therapies, otherwise patients would have to travel to Sheffield.

“We are so grateful for the support we have continued to receive from our community and from groups like Chesterfield MG Group. Thank you – this will make a big difference to patient care and help to keep our services local.”
