Ann Duhig, Business and Transformation Manager who helped organise the celebrations was shocked to receive so many donations.
She said: “It really made our nurses feel special we had some fantastic prizes, now our volunteer drivers are getting these delivered to keep the great community spirit going on. At the moment it really makes our jobs worthwhile and I love supporting these services, they do so much on the frontline.”
