The Friends of Blandford Community Hospital 

Registered Charity No: 800482 

Work Commences at Portman Ward, Blandford Hospital 

The beginning of February saw work commence that will make a real difference to patients being treated on Portman Ward at Blandford Hospital. The original conservatory, which was not suitable for patients in the height of summer and depths of winter, will be replaced by an all year round sun room. This will truly bring the outside space in and provide a very comfortable area for the patients to enjoy the view and perhaps even watch the bowling in the summer.

The project, costing in excess of £40,000, is funded by the Friends of the Hospital with monies raised through their shop income, fundraising events, legacies and donations received from supporters.
