THE Millbrook appeal keeps edging closer to our target of £150,000.

The total has hit £132,710 this week, thanks to another batch of generous donations and fund-raising events.

We still need your help to reach our target as quickly as possible, as the Millbrook Suite, set up in 1998, needs £150,000 for refurbishment and new equipment.

We are asking the Wyre Forest community to support the appeal – run by the Kidderminster Hospital League of Friends and The Shuttle – to enable the unit to treat cancer patients in more comfortable and modern surroundings.

If you can get involved and help in any way, please contact reporter, Adam Burling, on 01562 633346 or email him at adam.burling@kidder minstershuttle.co.uk. Please send any donations – cheques made payable to Kidderminster Hospital League of Friends (Millbrook Appeal) – to Adam Burling, Kidderminster Shuttle, 6 Towers Building, Blackwell Street, Kidderminster, DY102DY.

The League of Friends would like to acknowledge all donations with a thank you letter so, if you wish to receive one, please include your name and address.
