Whitby residents are being encouraged to ‘buy a brick’ this new year, to have their very own place in the town’s new hospital.

NHS Teaching NHS Foundation Trust say sponsoring a brick is also a fantastic opportunity to create a lasting tribute in memory of a loved one – you could include your own name, someone else’s or even a business or team name.

Bricks cost £20 each but higher donations are gratefully received.

The trust said: “We recognise that times are challenging at the moment but is a great way to do something feel-good for the community if you are in a position to do so.”

Whitby Hospital £13m renovation: trust celebrates completion of project

All money raised as part of this campaign goes towards the Whitby Hospital Appeal.

The funding will be spent in a number of ways, with one example being completing the dementia friendly landscape garden on site at the hospital.
