FITTINGS and furnishings are the next big thing on the shopping list for Worcester's breast unit.
After already releasing a shopping list for furniture to finish off the unit at 220 Newtown Road in Worcester on the site of the Worcestershire Royal Hospital the focus now moves to 'fixtures and fittings'.
Cash to pay for computers, mirrors, coffee tables, flooring cupboards and curtains are now needed as the drive continues to make the breast unit the best it can be.
The unit is set to open in the autumn of this year but fundraisers still need funds to pay for all the fixtures and fittings as well as equipment and to make the unit at 220 Newtown Road on the Worcestershire Royal Hospital site a success. This week the focus is on fixtures and fittings.
A spokesman for the Worcestershire Breast Unit Campaign said: "The fundraising focus is now on all the furniture, fittings and equipment for the unit. This week we are featuring the furniture and invite donations to assist in this area.
"Below are some of the items required and their estimated costs. The policy is to buy high quality goods to minimise maintenance and replacement costs.
"Please do not purchase goods yourself and donate them as we need to co-ordinate the overall colours and styles in the unit. On the other hand, if you are involved in a company that may be able to donate goods we would of course be delighted to hear from you."
