NURSING staff at Leighton Hospital have been given a boost thanks to a charity concert held earlier this year.

The concert was organised by Marjorie Bossons, her daughter and son-in-law Sarah-Jane and Ian Irlam along with the rest of the family.

It was the latest in a series of concerts organised by the family to raise money for the neo-natal and maternity wards.

This concert raised £1,275 and bought a TV and video for the neo-natal ward and a breast pump and bell for ward 22.

The bell will be inscribed with the name of Sarah-Jane and Ian's son Jamie who died at the ward days after he was born.

The family presented the hospital with the cheque last month and were joined by Sarah-Jane and Ian's baby son Ashley. The couple are also expecting another baby.

The next concert has been arranged for November 20. Tickets are £6 from 589146.
