Barnstaple M&S raise £5k for Seamoor Unit

BARNSTAPLE Marks and Spencers staff have raised a magnificent £5,000 for the Seamoor Chemotherapy & Day Treatment Unit over the past year.

The money will be used towards an observation machine to support cancer patients being treated at the North Devon District Hospital.

Hospital charity “Over and Above” Fundraiser Julie Whitton said “Marks and Spencers staff are amazing supporters to our hospital charity “Over and Above”.  Over the past few years, the Barnstaple store has raised almost £20,000 for the Seamoor Unit which was achieved through skydiving , bag packing, charity fun days and collecting tins on their tills.  Their fantastic achievement shows how a team working together can make such a difference to the lives of our patients.”
