RAF Benevolent Fund supports IRHH nurses
IRHH recently received a generous grant from the RAF Benevolent Fund towards the nursing care we provide across the local area.
In announcing the decision, Air Commodore Paul Hughesdon said: "The RAF Benevolent Fund much appreciates (Iain Rennie's) support and care of members of the Royal Air Force family and has approved a grant of £22,000 as a contribution towards the charity's expenditure in this area. We wish you well for the future."
The RAF has also agreed to fund IRHH's appeal for syringe drivers at an additional cost of £2,636. The equipment enables patients to have their vital drugs injected automatically at home.
Sue Varvel , IRHH's Director or Nursing, said: "We are so very grateful to the RAF Benevolent Fund for their continued support of our work locally, and for funding our appeal for more syringe drivers. The money will make a huge difference to our patients and their families, who rely on our nurses to allow them the choice of remaining at home with a terminal illness."
