Patient accommodation charity celebrates 21st anniversary

Relatives of Broadgreen Hospital patients stay at Robert Owen House

A charity which provides accommodation for the relatives of those receiving medical treatment in the UK is celebrating its 21st anniversary this weekend.

Robert Owen House gives the family of Manx patients at Broadgreen Hospital in Liverpool somewhere to stay while their loved ones undergo procedures such as pacemaker fittings and heart by-pass surgery.

An event is taking place at Milntown House this Sunday to mark the occasion.

June Young from Friends of Robert Owen House says the facility has come a long way since it first opened:

You can book tickets for Sunday's event, which gets underway at 3.45pm by calling 897424.
