The fun day, organized by Catherine Garratt and landlady Stella Gibbs, featured a range of activities including children's crafts, cookie decorating, live music, quizzes, a raffle, and tombola, as well as a sponsored static bike challenge by staff from KKC UK. The event also included the proceeds from a charity golf day hosted by KKC UK at Shaw Hill Golf Club, which boosted the donation even further. The funds raised will go towards supporting specialist equipment, patient services, and comforts at the Royal Preston Hospital's Sharoe Green Maternity Unit, as well as the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which provides exceptional care for premature and poorly babies and their families.
