Josie O’Driscoll is one of the team at the Jacques Vert department in Ross Labels. She has personal experience of how supportive the Friends are to Ross Community Hospital so when the department was looking for a charity to donate the 5p from the sale of carrier bags, she suggested the Friends.

Since February they have collected in excess of £1,000. The manager, Eira Elsmore told the Ross Gazette that customers have been very generous, many giving more than 5p.

On Wednesday, December 20th Jill Davies, Chairman of the Friends of Ross Hospital visited the store to thank the team at Jacques Vert.
