"Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is like all our Christmasses have come again."
Maryann Residential Care Home and Hospital nurse manager Peg Leathley says staff were thrilled when a new palliative care bed arrived last week. The queen size bed was donated by the Toko Lions.
With the bed being queen sized, rather than single, it means patients receiving palliative care can have their spouse / partner stay with them, "which makes it as close to being at home as possible," says Peg.
Toko Lions president Kim Watson says projects like this aren't just thanks to club members.
"It's everyone around, the families and friends, people who buy raffle tickets, support the fundraising however they can."
