A CHARITY has made a £500 donation to Musgrove Park Hospital.
The Ilminster & District Lions presented the cheque to the Beacon Centre on Monday (March 18).
The funds will be used to purchase a special chair for patients undergoing treatment in the centre.
A spokesperson said: “Ilminster & District Lions had the pleasure of donating a cheque for £500 this evening [Monday, March 18] to the Beacon Centre Musgrove Hospital.
“It will be used to help purchase a special chair for patients undergoing treatment at the centre.
“As always this is only made possible by the generosity of the local community in supporting our fundraising activities.”
