Jane Harbit (pictured below, left), treasurer of The League of Friends of Aberfeldy Cottage Hospital, accepted a cheque for £300 from Aberfeldy Country Markets co-ordinator Sandie Murphy.
The Friends provided facilities for a palliative care room at the Cottage Hospital last summer, and the money will go towards the equipping of a second palliative care room, plus the provision of equipment for patients’ comfort which is no longer provided by the NHS .

The room was created with a leather armchair, pine furniture, TV/DVD and a comfortable bed. It has en-suite facilities and a shower. The District Nurses Homecare Fund also contributed to the cost of the room which is available for a range of patients including those who are suffering from chronic and terminal illness.
