Businesses turned out in force to a breakfast networking event hosted by the Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity and South Cheshire Chamber.
The charity, based at Leighton Hospital, teamed up with the Chamber to welcome representatives from more than 40 Crewe and Nantwich companies.
Carole Salmon, MCH Charity Community Fundraiser, said: “The Chamber has a busy and active programme of networking events and as members we were honoured to be the venue for the May Final Friday.
“It was a perfect opportunity to showcase how support from our local businesses community is vitally important to the work that we do.”
Jon Barnes, operations manager at South Cheshire Chamber, added: “The Final Friday at Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity was a huge success.
“The team were incredibly informative and helpful, and through the stories they told the large audience it was clear they really care about the change they are making.”
The charity team demonstrated the use of Reminiscence Interactive Therapy Activities (RITA) unit which have been funded by donations to the Everybody Knows Somebody – dementia appeal.
These have already had a positive impact on the wards to calm, engage or entertain people living with dementia.
Mid Cheshire Hospitals charity are keen to support more local groups and businesses with their fundraising.
