Hospital turns down donation from men who wore 'demeaning' nurse costumes A hospital has turned down a donation from a group of men who raised money by dressing up as nurses, claiming their behaviour was "highly-sexualised" and "demeaning".
The men raised £2,500 in the event in Ludlow, Shropshire, which sees them dress up as female nurses and take to the streets with collection buckets.
The fundraising drive for Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust has been taking place without complaint for 30 years, raising around £90,000 in total.
Jan Ditheridge, chief executive of the trust, said she is not comfortable with how the event portrays medical staff and refused the donation. The Daily Telegraph
