Bay Hospitals Charity funds the latest equipment for University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust and works to support staff working across its hospital sites.

Operation Gratitude was set up by the school’s progress leader for Year 10 and teacher of French Sarah Taylor.

Sarah said: “This is a project that aims to show our appreciation and support for the Royal Lancaster Infirmary Staff who are working tirelessly to save lives next door.

“We have already had some wonderful donations for this cause and we hope many more local businesses and organisations will be willing to help us thank our local NHS heroes.”
