Louise Phillips and Bradley
A South Lakes mum has raised more than £25,000 for hospital emergency, babies and children’s departments in the region.
Mum-of-two Louise Phillips who works with the occupational therapy team at Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal, held events for the Royal Lancaster Infirmary’s emergency department and the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust’s neonatal unit and children’s ward.
Her virtual Christmas fair, held via social media platform Facebook while she was on maternity leave, raised £12,500.
Louise, 39, of Kendal, said: âI got the idea for the Christmas fair one day when I started thinking, weâre in the middle of a pandemic – surely I can raise some funds for the NHS!
