A very special celebration took place on Sheldon Ward today as Margaret and David Causer marked 50 years married! 🥂

Margaret, who has been a patient on the ward for around two months, was able to celebrate the special milestone with her husband thanks to the efforts of Activities Coordinator Michelle Williams.

The couple enjoyed a special lunch together in the Poppy Lounge, complete with delicious cakes and Nosecco, thanks to the Catering Department. Our Digital Team also helped make the celebration extra special by creating a slideshow featuring photographs from Margaret and David’s years together.
