Thank you donation will be spent improving Calderdale Royal Hospital's staff rooms

Yorkshire Freemasons has made the grant as part of a £60,000 gift to hospitals across the county to thank NHS workers for their dedication.

Calderdale Royal Hospital has received £3,000 to buy furniture and equipment.

David Pratt, Provincial Grandmaster of the Province of Yorkshire West Riding, said: “I think we are all in agreement that the whole country owes our NHS staff, and social care workers, a huge debt of gratitude.

“I'd also like to thank our members who have also reacted brilliantly to the pandemic; from those who helped make PPE, to those helping out at vaccination centres and also going back into the medical profession to administer those all-important vaccinations.
