When summer temperatures spike, keeping cool is about far more than basic comfort – it’s about creating an environment where our dedicated NHS team can perform their most critical work safely and effectively.
We recently received an urgent request to supply a new fan for the hospital’s Script Room, where vital medications and drugs are stored and prepared. Working inside a small room during a heatwave can be incredibly uncomfortable, yet the staff soldiered on without complaint to ensure patient care continued. Naturally, the Friends were only too pleased to approve the purchase right away.
Making a Difference Behind the Scenes
Sorting and managing medication requires absolute precision and focus. Now that the fan is fully installed, the atmosphere in the room is vastly improved, allowing the team to carry out their duties in a much cooler, more comfortable setting. Danielle Holton, Clinical Team Leader, is already enjoying the welcome breeze! While a fan might seem like a small item, it makes a huge difference to staff working hard behind the scenes to keep our patients safe and well-cared for.

It is easy to forget how much impact these essential comfort items can have, but every single one is made possible by people like you. Whether you support our fundraising events, remember us with a legacy, or drop a contribution through our website’s JustGiving page, your generosity goes straight to the frontline of patient and staff wellbeing.
