OLYMPIC swimming star Sharron Davies has been announced as the new patron of a hospital fundraising group.

Ms Davies MBE, 46, agreed to become the figurehead for the League of Friends of Fairford Hospital.

David Phillips, chairman of the league, said: "I am delighted that such a well-known sporting and television personality, tireless charity worker and prominent Fairford resident has wishes to become associated with the important work that the League does in the local community."

The league recently received the top health service rating for its home nursing service.

The Commissions for Social Care inspection report on the Friends in the Community Home Nursing Service has rated the service as 3 star excellent for both domiciliary care and nursing services.

Ms Davies, who lives in the town, is known to get involved with community groups and last year she presented prizes to the winners of a design competition at the Kemble Mobility Roadshow.
