Charity needs £3,000 to give Harrogate hospital staff a place to stay
A charity has already raised £10,000 but needs another £3,000 to give the staff at Harrogate District Hospital a place to stay after a busy shift.
The money Friends of Harrogate Hospital has already raised will be able to pay for the basic refitting work of five rooms but it is aiming to take the rooms up to a hotel standard.
Staff may not be able to get home after a long shift so they need to occasionally stay overnight at the hospital but they are not said to be in good shape currently.
Ian Elliot, the treasurer at Friends of Harrogate Hospital, told the Stray Ferret:
The charity has set up a fundraising page with a £3,000 target. At the time of publication, people have donated just over £50.
Hotels close to the hospital have been providing staff with a place to stay but some others need to be onsite at all times.
