Members of Toothill Church and the Tinies Playgroup have donated £400 to the Swindon Asthma Relief charity.
Christmas collection money was donated to the cause after the charity provided a nebuliser to a child who attends the playgroup.
Carly Reed explained: “My daughter Emme, suffers from cyctic fibrosis and finds it difficult to breathe.
“We were lucky enough to receive this donation of a nebuliser that she can use at home. We are so grateful and it’s wonderful that Toothill Church has been able to give something back to the charity.”
The money was handed over to Dave Penman, who founded the Swindon charity and office manager Patricia Davis, by church secretary Becky Bondah.
The money will be put towards paying for a new £600 nebuliser, to be donated to Great Western Hospital for patients with cyctic fibrosis to alleviate the symptoms of their conditions.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition in which the lungs and digestive system can become clogged with mucus. It can cause problems with breathing and digestion from a young age.
