SWINDON rotary clubs donated a whopping £208,000 to Great Western Hospital which will help pay for equipment in the new radiotherapy unit. This formed part of the largest single donation to the Brighter Futures campaign which will cover the cost of the £2.9 million LINAC machine soon to be installed in the £18.4 million radiotherapy unit. Once it s operational, thousands of patients will benefit from vital cancer treatment that currently is only on offer in Oxford hospitals, forcing patients in Swindon who need the treatment to regularly make a 70-mile round trip. A total of 12 clubs in and around Swindon have now collectively donated one third of a million pounds towards the machine during a fundraising effort led by Howard Small which began in 2015 with a donation of £120,000.
