A SOCIAL club raised more than £27,000 for a hospital unit for premature babies.
The Neonatal Unit at Southend University Hospital has received £27,230.31 from Ambleside Social Club after a decade of fundraising.
Members of the Ambleside Social Club have raised funds with various events including annual charity golf days.
The supporters have recently joined a new campaign to raise money to buy a Cerebral Function Monitoring machine which will help detect seizures and improve outcomes for new born babies.
Jen Foster, neonatal ward manager, said: “We are so thankful for the support we receive from our community. “We are grateful to Ambleside Social Club for their support in helping us to purchase this equipment.”
