The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital (RJAH) in Gabowen has received seven new wheelchairs.

These were funded by the League of Friends charity and will benefit patients by improving mobility and comfort.

The new wheelchairs will assist the portering team, who transport patients to services they need, in meeting the growing demand at the Shropshire hospital.

The wheelchairs were purchased for £5,750.

Victoria Sugden, charity director, said: "We are proud to support RJAH with this donation.

"Our goal is to help the hospital deliver the best possible care, and we believe that these new wheelchairs will provide immediate benefits for patients and staff."

Frank Riley, head porter, said: "My team and I are delighted to have these new wheelchairs – they will make a huge difference to our daily work.

"We are grateful to the League of Friends for their generosity, and we look forward to putting these wheelchairs to good use."

Nicki Bellinger, assistant chief nurse, said: "We are immensely thankful to the League of Friends for their ongoing support.

"These new wheelchairs are an important addition to our hospital and will enhance the quality of care we provide to our patients."
