The donors previously donated £500,000 and were pleased with the ingenuity with which it was used. The chair of the Charity’s Board of Trustees, Tricia Marwick, said: “This is a quite extraordinary act of kindness and we are genuinely blown away by the generosity shown yet again. “The earlier donation of £500,000 has funded a wide range of initiatives and has been invaluable in helping us provide some of the home comforts that have made patients’ stay in hospital more bearable whilst visiting restrictions have been in place.” Some projects of the projects which it funded included the purchase of more than 100 tablets to ensure patients can video call loved ones amidst visiting restrictions; the construction of an outdoor gym for staff and patients at Lynebank Hospital in Dunfermline; and the purchase of portable translation devices for patients who aren’t fluent in English.
