From Ormskirk Live:
'Lovely feedback from Jessica from the Paediatric team at Ormskirk Hospital.
We are so happy you were able to raise so much money for such a worthy cause!'
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for arranging transport for us today. It’s not gone unnoticed that you’ve done it at a massively reduced price and it’s greatly appreciated by us all. Also wanted to acknowledge how great David our driver was today. He was an absolute delight and made the trip very enjoyable.
Our fundraising page is currently on a whopping £2800 and donations still coming in. It really will make a huge difference to our little patients and you’ve been a part of that so thank you.
Will always recommend you for any future events.
Many thanks,
Jessica Healy"

Nurses climb Snowdon to fund children’s smiles
A group of children’s ward staff from Ormskirk hospital are taking on the challenge of climbing Snowdon on 1 September to raise money for their department.
Children’s nurse and organiser Jess Healy said: “Last year we did a charity walk to raise money to revamp our playroom. We had some amazing painters create a jungle themed mural and we want to invite them back to paint some other areas. We will also use the money to go towards resources and equipment to make a visit to A&E as pleasant as possible for our young patients.
“We are so passionate about and proud of the job we do, that we want our department to be the best it can be.
“So next month we will climb Snowdon, using all our team work skills which help us through many difficult situations. We will navigate to the top and back down (no trains allowed)! Support, care, encouragement, resilience and a lot of laughter will make it a success we are sure.”
Trust Chief Executive Trish Armstrong-Child said: “What a fantastic team we have in our children’s A&E. They are truly an inspirational bunch and I have no doubt that they will easily succeed and raise much needed funds for the department along the way.”
