A MESSAGE FROM THE
CHAIRMAN....
The last year has seen the League’s investment in the
Hospital at an all-time high. The Centre for Education, Innovation and Research,
now to be called “Horizon”, progresses smoothly to completion on the building
work - so it’s time for the League to have a ‘cheque handover’ of the promised
£1.5m and this will take place on 25th March. A further cheque in the sum of
£220,000 will be presented later in the year to cover the audio and visual
fit-out of the Centre. Yes, you’re right, our total investment is now £1.72m, a
wonderful contribution on behalf of the citizens of Torbay and South Devon.
Thank you all - and the work goes on. We have recently been asked to support a
new and exciting project in surgery and have provisionally set aside £1.5m as
our contribution to the project and with more than £350,000 spent or allocated
to other Hospital requests during my term the League will have invested close to
£4m in two years - a truly magnificent achievement on behalf of our Torbay and
South Devon supporters. I think Torbay Hospital League of Friends can justly
claim to be the highest spending and most successful ‘Hospital League’ in the
whole of the UK. Once again, thank you all for making it possible.
John Lindsay
NEW CENTRE TO BE OPEN IN
JUNE 2009
The new building shapes up well!
The excellent progress of the new £5m Centre for
Innovation, Training and Research building can easily be observed in this recent
pictorial record. A vast difference can be seen from the first picture taken
during autumn 2008 is compared to the other pictures, taken during February
2009. The League's generous gift of £1.5m towards the three-storey building has
helped to keep South Devon Healthcare at the leading edge of innovation and team
working - which will be of great benefit to patients across South Devon. The
new centre is due to be open in JUNE 2009! |
