Banbury United Manager Mike Ford and Chairman Phil Lines recently visited the Children’s Ward at the Horton to hand out presents on behalf of the club to the young people who are currently admitted to the ward.

There are currently 14 patients in the ward and at this time of the year Mike and Phil wanted to show that the club recognises there are others who are less fortunate in our Community. Phil and Mike chatted to the parents and children about what they want for Christmas and their interest in sport. Mike of course showed a softer side than his Saturday afternoon touchline persona!

Mike and Phil were given a warm welcome. Provision of services such as the Children’s Ward highlight just how important The Horton General Hospital is to the Banbury community.
