This in from Isle of Wight NHS, in their own words. Ed
The hospital porters however wanted to donate locally and donated to the Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) for education and equipment. After collecting all of their sponsorship, the porters presented the cheque to Lead Cancer Nurse, Anne Snow.
Fourteen porters grew moustaches and beards for Movember after the porter co-ordinator Gemma Knowles suggested they took part to create a bit of fun while raising money for a serious cause.
Lead Cancer Nurse Anne Snow said:
“We are very appreciative of the monies donated which will enable educational /equipment funds for the Cancer CNS enhancing holistic care for Isle of Wight cancer patients.”
The porters wish to say a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored them.
The majority of services provided by Isle of Wight NHS Trust are commissioned and funded by Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), NHS England and Isle of Wight Council.
