A HOSPITAL ward that helps premature babies was given a special Christmas present thanks to the Wokingham Trefoil Guild.
The group, which is an adult branch of the Girl Guides movement, spent the year raising funds for the Buscot Premature Baby Unit at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.
Through a raise of charity events, the group presented a cheque for £560 to Gina Outram, Buscot’s ward sister. The money will be used to help purchase a Giraffe Omnibed Incubator.
Trefoil member Pat Rutherford said: “We were very pleased to visit the hospital in December to present a cheque for £560 towards the purchase of a Giraffe Omnibed Incubator. The money was raised by a book stall, various raffles and a tombola at the Wokingham Winter Carnival.
“Trefoil Guild is open to anyone over the age of 18 and is a great way to make new friends, travel, serve the community and to help Guiding thrive across the UK. We in Wokingham meet once a month, run our own programme and join in with Wokingham Division”.
The group welcomes new members. For more details, call Ms Rutherford on 0118 973 2265 or email bprutherford@btinternet.com.
