ORGAN donors’ families and hospital staff gathered at a memorial event at Worcestershire Royal Hospital to share in the dedication and blessing in memory of organ donors.
Over 100 people joined in the event which was organised to devote new plaques commemorating donors who in the words of Rev David Southall “gave the wonderful gift of life”.
Rev Southall led a service of reflection on Saturday, he said: “It was humbling to be involved in the blessing of this Organ Donor Memorial, so many wonderful people came along with moving and beautiful stories."
Michael Amies, Worcestershire Organ Donation committee’s outgoing chair, gave thanks to all those who have signed up to the register, and emphasised the on-going importance of organ donation.
