A family has thanked Community Rehab - based in Allan House, Sowerby Bridge, for their end of life care.

They have donated £220 from a funeral collection for a man who had been receiving palliative care with our team.

Gareth McMahon is pictured with their thank-you card. He nursed the man for several months and they bonded specially well through their shared love for sport especially cricket.

Gareth, has been a nurse at CHFT for more than 20 years, the last two in community and before that on MAU and the 5s at CRH.

He said: "I  got to know this patient well over time helping him and his family have everything in place as he wished for. We helped him to be at home as he wanted to be when he died. We were touched when his family said they would put a collection box for our team. We get lots of thank-yous but not often a donation."
