Readers have responded to news that Jessie McCarron, from Mirehouse, an employee of West Cumberland Hospital, is organising a summer ball for staff at the hospital, to give them something to look forward to. After doing several fundraising events in the past for hospital wards and patients at the West Cumberland Hospital, she now thinks it is time that staff are rewarded. She has secured the Marchon Club venue for free, on July 17, and is now appealing for anyone that is willing to volunteer their time and do a gig for a staff ball to come forward. She is also asking local businesses if they would like to donate items for raffle prizes, or give any party essentials such as food for the buffet, flowers and balloons.
