The Ray of Hope Appeal can now announce that work on Ray’s bathroom has been completed.

Ray has been concerned about the condition of his bathroom for many years. Several years ago he fell in the shower and badly injured himself so it was a priority for us to renovate the whole room. With a healthy donation from the PFA work began in February and took eight days.

Thanks to your generous donations Ray now has new handrails on the walls and a whole new shower which has a central pole and a seat. We have also replaced the toilet and sink units in both the bathroom and second toilet area.

Ray is delighted with the work and thanked you all several times when we visited him last month. This, along with work in his bedroom, means that his bungalow is much more comfortable and safer than before.

Now that the major piece of renovation is completed we will be looking at other areas to improve, starting with replacing some of his older handrails and maybe adding more if required.

Ray would like to say “I’m thrilled at the new bathroom and would like to thank everyone who helped and were kind enough to donate. It’s fantastic.â€

Things like this make you grateful for every day that you wake up in good health.

Glad that Ray can be helped.

I never actually saw him play live, but saw him on T.V. for Arsenal, Liverpool, Swansea and England, he was indeed a very good player.

My friends, who are older than me, saw him live in the red and white of Arsenal and said he was a top player, and the honours that he achieved add testament to that.

Very pleased that this organisation is doing all they can for him.
