Over the years the Friends of Holsworthy Hospital have provided many facilities for the benefit of patients, staff and visitors.

The latest additions to the hospital, a patio and rose garden, were officially opened by the Mayor of Holsworthy, Cllr Richard Brown, last Saturday afternoon.

The public were invited to the event and had the opportunity to see the new bedside cabinets and inflatable lifting aid, also provided by the Friends, as well as enjoying cream teas, numerous stalls and games.
