A group is to hold a fundraising event dedicated to the late councillor Angela Newton.
Since 2005 until her death in 2022 she was the president of The Friends of Johnson Hospital.
The summer fayre on Saturday, July 13 at 2pm will be the first held since before the COVID-19 lockdowns and be held in the hospital grounds.
Among the attractions will be performances by the Spalding Community Choir, afternoon teas provided by nurse Danielle Horton and a host of games and stalls.
Secretary Christine Grocock said: “In recognition of our esteemed president Angela Newton, we will be dedicating the event to her.
“This special event is a tribute to Angela’s remarkable contributions and dedication to our cause.
“In 2020, Angela was instrumental in securing over £44,000 from the residuary fund of the Pennygate Patient Link, which enabled the purchase of an ultrasound machine.
“This significant acquisition facilitated cataract operations at Johnson Community Hospital, sparing patients the need to travel to Boston, Peterborough, or Lincoln.
“Please join us for the fayre, an afternoon filled with fun activities, entertainment, refreshments, and community spirit.
“Proceeds from the summer fayre will go towards our commitment to supporting our hardworking nursing and ancillary staff and the care for the patients they serve.”
Steve Weatherly-Barton, the group’s chairman, said: “Angela led the Friends firmly, inspired by her love for our hospital, and her passionate grasp of the ideals and vision of our National Health Service.”
