£3,000 donation made towards Scannappeal Speech and Language Therapy project

A £3,000 donation has been made by Sweet Charity, the charity shop in Prestwood, to the Scannappeal Speech and Language Therapy project.

The funds will go towards purchasing equipment for patients with difficulty swallowing or impaired speech following a stroke or with Parkinson’s disease, cancer of the throat, muscular dystrophy or head injuries.

£10,000 is still needed to complete Speech and Language Therapy project which will benefit 750 local patients each year at Amersham and Wycombe Hospitals.

Items available for sponsorship range from digital voice recorders at £100 to a specialist monitor for endoscopes at £4,000.
