The 2016 Charity – Hospital Tandem Buggy
This year we are raising money for a Hospital tandem Buggy!
You may have seen the electric buggies that ferry the less mobile around the hospital operated by the Friends of Derby Hospital, but these are restricted in where they can go because of their size. it is now possible to buy a two seat narrow electric vehicle that can ferry one person (plus driver) to many more locations in the hospital, for outpatients or less mobile visitors. Jackie Marriott is shown giving us a talk about the “Tandem Buggies”.
Here is a photo of the much loved, late Charles Green, as one of the Volunteers that drive the current buggies.
