Friendship Circle makes generous donation to Fisher House

The Friendship Circle, a group from St Faith and St Laurence Church in Harborne has raised a fantastic £1,125 to support Fisher House, the home away from home for military patients and their families at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

Representatives from the group made a visit to Fisher House shortly before Christmas to present a cheque to Patient Advocate Dave Watson. The Friendship Circle raised the money over the course of 2018 by holding a number of events, including a coffee morning and a skittles evening.

Dave Watson spoke to the group about his experiences in the Army, and the importance of Fisher House and the service that it provides to military patients and their families. The group were inspired by Dave and decided to direct their fundraising towards supporting the home away from home.

Dave said: "It was great to meet the members of the Friendship Circle again and give them a tour of Fisher House. The money they have raised will help us continue to provide for military patients and their families here at Fisher House."

Fisher House provides free accommodation to military patients and their families at QEHB and relies entirely on donations to stay open. You can support Fisher House by donating on the right hand side of this page.
