A charity ball has raised £7,508 for the Critical Care Complex at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH).

Vince Coomber organised the event, which took place at Sprowston Manor Marriotts Hotel in June, after a golfing friend suffered a severe aneurysm and was rushed to NNUH.

The Complex cares for patients with potentially life-threatening conditions, with specialist equipment and constant monitoring from skilled staff.

Vince said: “If it hasn’t been for the skill of the hospital, he wouldn’t be here and so I thought we had to do something to say thank you.”

The ball, along with charity auction and raffle, raised £7,508 which was present to NNUH Anaesthetic Consultant Akesh Dhrampal and some of his team this week.

NNUH fundraising manager Louise Cook said: “We want to thank Vince for organising the event and everyone who helped supported it and raised such a fantastic amount which will make a huge difference to our Critical Care team.”
