Kate Woodhead, business owner, said: “We are proud to have been asked to support the league of friends, who are at the heart of the community. Having had loved ones in the hospital and also long standing family connections we know how important the league of friends volunteers are to patients. Actions speak louder than words and we are thrilled to help these hardworking volunteers.”

Victoria Sugden, charity director, said: “Tremendous thanks to Kate and her team for supporting us and funding these aprons for our volunteers. They are very smart indeed and ensure volunteers are instantly recognisable.
