But when the couple converted the living room of their Mickleover home into a mini-hospital, they needed to create an extra room to give them more space.

Asda's Sinfin store, along with Sinfin Moor Social Club, helped raise the cash for a conservatory, while Derby College and Radleigh Homes did the work.
