A GROUP which has supported NHS services in Bridport for more than 60 years is appealing for more volunteers.

The Bridport Community Hospital League of Friends is appealing for some 'new blood' to continue the work of raising funds to meet the needs of patients.

The League of Friends runs a number of projects to provide support to hospital staff and patients, including hospital fetes, building projects and the purchase of helpful equipment.

Currently in its 62nd year of operating, the League's members feel that as many members of the committee are getting older, some younger faces are needed to join the committee to act as trustees of the League and attend quarterly committee meetings.

Those interested can contact Heather Purse on 01308 423220 or on email heatherpurse@yahoo.co.uk. A short interview and DBS check will be conducted.

The League's AGM will be held on Monday, July 12 July at 6pm in the Seminar room at the hospital, which anyone is welcome to attend.
