Come and join Friends at shop




Lynn Hospital’s League of Friends launched an appeal in December 2008 for more volunteers to help run its shop at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Since the group’s formation in the 1950s it had raised more than £2 million to buy equipment and amenities to benefit both patients and staff in the local hospitals and community.

Most of that money had been generated by the shop.

The league secretary Carol Crake (pictured far right) said that a large pool of volunteers was needed to ensure coverage for the hours the shop was open.

It will soon be time for the Christmas Day swim, organised by Hunstanton and District Round Table and these photos from All Our Yesterdays feature swimmers who braved the water in previous years.
