Rum’s Eg Singers once again supported PATV at their Spirit of Christmas Concert and the closing collection was divided between PATV and Jane Scarth House. We were delighted to receive £223.
In addition, Rum’s Eg singers were honoured to be invited to form the choir at a wedding in Lockerley just before Christmas. The family made a generous donation of £400 to PATV.
Finally, we were delighted to receive a cheque for £500 from the Romsey Town Carnival Committee.
To all these organisations we express our heartfelt thanks. Fundraising is never an easy task and we are extremely grateful to all these organisations for their support and encouragement
We start the New Year with healthy finances and new sessions fully booked. We are very encouraged that many local GPs are regularly referring patients to us.
We have been holding mini exhibitions in all the local practices in the last couple of months to spread the word about our services and raising awareness of social Prescription.
Wishing all our patients, friends, supporters a very happy new year.
