• Haematology Day Unit receives £20,000 donation after sale of Bank Street Chapel
• Dissolution Council chose the unit after member’s wife received treatment there
• Donation will help fund additional comfort and support for patients

The Haematology Day Unit at Royal Bolton Hospital has received a generous donation for £20,000 from the Bank Street Chapel Dissolution Council.

It follows the sale of the disused Bank Street Chapel in Bolton, with the Dissolution Council choosing Our Bolton NHS Charity and the Haematology Day Unit as one of twenty recipients for donations from the proceeds.

The wife of one council member was treated at the unit for five years, and they wanted to show their thanks for care they received through the donation.

Jo Bowman, Haematology Day Unit Manager, said:

The Haematology team are extremely grateful for the incredible donation from Bank Street Unitarian Chapel.

“This donation will enable us to fund additional comforts and support for patients receiving treatment and care via the Haematology Day Unit.
