A sponsored walk is planned around Coate Water to raise funds for equipment in the Great Western Hospital's orthopaedic department.
Staff at the hospital will be joining former orthopaedic patients on a one-mile walk on Sunday, September 7.
The department plasters some 4,700 arms and 4,200 legs in an average year, in addition to an increasing number of hip and knee replacements and repairs.
Items on the shopping list include an electrocardiogram heart-monitoring machine, which create the electric currents generated by the heart allowing doctors to analyse the cardiac health of the patient.
The fun starts at 3pm, and includes a bouncy castle, face painting and a variety of stalls. There is also a DVD up for grabs in a raffle.
For details write to The Great Western Hospital, Fundraising Department, PO Box 80, North Swindon District Centre, Thamesdown Drive, Swindon, SN25 4AN or call 01793 605635.
