Achievements during the year 2022-2023

New Linen for Cottage View
New furniture and Window Blinds for Birth Unit at Knighton Hospital
Replacement Televisions for Cottage View
Xmas gifts for Cottage View and East Radnorshire Day Centre

Discussions commenced with managers at Knighton Hospital looking at possible future projects which the League might help to fund.
