James said: “NHSP works in close partnership with Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust and we are extremely proud to make this donation to the Gold Dust Appeal to support the great work they do for children and their families.”

Emma said: “I’d like to say a big thank you to members of NHSP and to Karen for choosing Gold Dust again for this donation. I would encourage anyone else to help us with fundraising or join in with the activities that we have organised, as we only have a few months to go to reach our grand total.”
