We are aiming to raise at least £65,000 so that we can continue making a difference for patients attending the Hospital of St Cross and the NHS Community Service in Rugby. We will publish, here and on social media, some reminders of the support you have enabled us to provide and some of the donations we receive towards the Appeal. Due to the pandemic the appeal was not launched until 1st October 2020 and will run until December 2021. Click here to donate!!

The Friends have delivered a selection of small wall clocks, hairdryers and free standing table top mirrors for all the wards at St Cross.

Debbie Harris, Specialist Mental Health Nurse, requested these items and said “The clocks will benefit the patients in side rooms who cannot see the clocks in the bays on the wards. The hairdryers and mirrors will help patients self esteem. Together all these items help towards the Mental wellbeing of our patients.”

Willy Goldschmidt, Chairman of the Friends of St Cross, said “it is often the case that the smallest of donations have a great impact on a large number of patients and so it was a pleasure to deliver these items to the team.”
