Sunlight is the ideal light for humans to work in

The people of Devon & Cornwall pulled out all the stops and raised over £30,000 within two months. This amount will now help train the next generation of prostate cancer surgeons.
The charity has been able to purchase two sets of Headlights with attachment cameras for The Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital and Derriford Hospital. It's a remarkable achievement to be able to raise so much in such a short space of time. Of course our attendance at The Devon County Show in May seriously helped, as did a £2000.00 donation from the North & East Devon Prostate Support Group, but the support from the people of the South West is absolutely brilliant.
Manager of the charity, Lesley-Ann Simpson says, "We are so pleased to be able to continue making a marked difference to men with prostate cancer across the region. These two cameras, which will start being used in our hospitals next week have cost a total of £34,995.00, and will ensure not only the best vision can be achieved by the surgeon, but with the attached camera it can also be used as a training tool".
Thank you to everyone who made a donation towards these headlight and cameras.
