THE League of Friends at the Alexandra Hospital recently received a generous donation from Kuretake UK Ltd, Redditch.

The money comes as a result of a recent open day it held at Redditch Town Hall.

Danielle Curzon from Kuretake visited the hospital to present a cheque for £2,152 to chairman of the Friends.

A spokesman for the group said they were extremely grateful for the donation, which would go towards a piece of much-needed equipment at the hospital, as requests were made to the Friends each month.
