Fundraising success for ERGC special bed plea
Charity founder Russell Macmillan appealed to readers in January to help fund a specialist bed for a resident in his 30s with a life-limiting condition.
Russell commented: “We’re asking the community to help fund a double bed with one side powered, so that this husband and wife are able to stay in the same bed.”

This week, Russell told The Extra: “I’d like to thank everyone who showed love to their neighbour and donated to a very worthy cause.”
