The raffle run by the Friends of The Yeatman Hospital raffle at the Sherborne Castle Country Fair this May proved exceptionally popular, and around 50 tickets were sold on the basis that any winning prizes would be donated to the staff at the Hospital. So when the draw was made at the end of the day, it was wonderful that the winning ticket for lunch for two, with wine, at the Clockspire in Milborne Port, was one of those bought to benefit the Hospital staff!
The trustees gave the prize to health care assistant Carol Wilson. Carol has worked for the NHS for 45 years, 40 of those at the Yeatman. She was presented with the prize by chairman of the Friends David Hayes at a ceremony at the Hospital (pictured below). Asked about her long service, Carol said how much she had enjoyed working at the Hospital and had seen many changes over the years… “It’s like being part of a family devoted to the care of our patients”.
