THE lights are shining outside York Hospital after the Christmas tree was “switched on”.
Lucy Lowthian, fundraising manager for York Teaching Hospital Charity (YTHC), flipped the switch on the festive illuminations for patients and visitors to enjoy.
For the second year running Mulberry Court Care Home, part of Barchester Healthcare, has sponsored the tree after making a donation to the charity, which is also its chosen charity of the year.
Angela Hopkins, general manager at Mulberry Court in Clifton Park, said: “We are delighted to support the charity again this year and help to add a little Christmas spirit at the hospital.
“The charity is involved with such important work in the local community and this is something which is held close to our hearts.”
The YTHC supports the work of the York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to help to ensure the best quality of care is provided by funding additional facilities, equipment, research and specialist staff training for the benefit of our patients.
