Connor MU supplies wash bags for hospital patients

Monday February 8th 2021

Archdeacon Stephen McBride, Connor MU Chaplain, delivers wash bags from Connor MU members to Hospital Chaplain Sanna Mallon in the church within Musgrave Park Hospital.

Connor Mothers’ Union (MU) is meeting a vital need by supplying emergency wash bags for patients in two large Belfast hospitals.

In mid-January, the MU received a request from Sanna Mallon, Church of Ireland Chaplain in the Royal Victoria and Musgrave Park hospitals, for help with providing wash bags for patients.

Sanna said: “More and more patients are coming into these hospitals and have not even a toothbrush with them. Sometimes they have to wait a week before their loved ones can bring a wash bag.”

MU members around the diocese responded quickly, with 75 packs made up for delivery, and are continuing to collect items to supply more bags.

Archdeacon Stephen McBride, Connor MU Chaplain, handed over the wash bags to Sanna at Musgrave Park Hospital.
