Bellingen Hospital and Pink Auxiliary members Marg Bell, Allison Graham and June Andrews love their hospital and are ready to welcome newcomers to the café roster. Allison and June have another special connection to Bellinger River District Hospital – they both worked there until retirement.
Bellingen throws its support behind UHA cafe
Feb 12, 2023The Bellingen and Urunga communities have shown, once again, how wonderful they are.
When the hard-working members of the Bellingen Hospital and Pink Auxiliary turned to social media to ask for new volunteers to work in their beloved café, Mary’s Tea House, the community responded.
Twenty beautiful souls attended a recent training day, including six new recruits, ensuring the café can continue to do what it does best – provide a much-needed service to visitors, patients and staff while raising tens of thousands of dollars each year for Bellinger River District Hospital.
Many hands make light work, so if there are others in the community who would like to join the monthly roster, and have fun doing something worthwhile, email waveney46@hotmail.com.
