Stars Appeal volunteers are celebrating a record-breaking year after raising £67,336 in the charity’s bookshop and through bucket collections at Salisbury Hospital.
The volunteers were joined by hospital staff for a special presentation to unveil the total raised in 2024.
Last year, the bookshop, which is in the main entrance of the Hospital, raised £48,619, with the Stars Appeal bucket collectors raising a further £18,717. The combined totals top the amount raised in 2023 of £62,653.
Helena Sinclair of the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, said: "This is an incredible achievement for our wonderful bookshop and bucket collection volunteers. We are hugely grateful for the time and dedication they give to supporting the charity. We want to say a massive thank you to our volunteers and to everyone who supports the bookshop and bucket collections, for making a difference to thousands of patients, their families, and staff at Salisbury Hospital.”
Money raised for the Stars Appeal helps fund new equipment, enhancements to buildings, and ongoing projects supporting patients across Salisbury Hospital, including emergency patient clothing and toiletries, hospital chaplaincy, support for patients with cancer and the Stars Appeal Play Assistant on Sarum Children’s Ward.
