Support for NHS Charity

We have supported the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals with two recent initiatives masterminded by one of our members, David Watkins

A new bed is delivered to the NNUH

Just before Christmas 2019, the Rotary Club purchased and presented a hospital approved easily movable bed to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Charity. The bed is for use by anyone needing to stay overnight with their seriously ill relatives. Organised by Rotarian David Watkins (on the right of the picture), the presentation was also attended  by Past president David Branson (on the left).

The nursing staff present were hugely appreciative of Watton Rotary Club's continued support for the NNUHC
