Hospice Matron Jenny Wratten said: “We constantly endeavour to stay up to date with the very latest advances in clinical technology in a bid to provide the very best for all of our patients and many of our current mattresses are fast approaching a point where they are no longer suitable.” Each specialist mattress costs £1,500. The hospice has already raised £10,000 toward its £27,000 goal but needs more help. To make a donation, visit www.stmichaelshospice.com and click ‘Donate Now’.
