One of our patients Gillian had a visit from her daughter last week with something very special to show her!
Kathryn ran the TCS London Marathon and brought her medal to show her mum.
Gillian deserves a medal for the phenomenal way she has progressed on her rehab journey following her recent stroke and here she is trying Kathryn’s on for size!
We couldnt believe how heavy the medal was!
Thankyou both of you for sharing this moment with us and allowing us to share on our page 🏅

Donna and Darby had a lovely morning this week attending the coffee morning at St Paul’s Church Morton

Thankyou so much for inviting us and for raising a huge £151.50 for our ward charitable funds! We assure you every penny will be spent enhancing the patient journey on the ward by purchasing those small things that make a difference for them.

We loved chatting with you all and the highlight of the morning was meeting our old friend Howie!! Howie was our first official ward pets as therapy dog and used to visit the ward with his ‘mum’ Kath of whom was a volunteer on the ward before she passed away several years ago
Say hello to Howie isn’t he a handsome chap?

It’s been a busy Easter weekend and the ladies were busy making Easter bonnets!
🐣🐰😂🐰😂🐰🐣🐰🐣🐰🐣🐰🐣🐰
Charlii came in on her day off with her son and they set up the crafts in the day room and the ladies loved it!
Here are some of the staff modelling them too!
Donna ordered the sets thinking they came with a bonnet but they didn’t! So we had to improvise!
Don’t you think they still look fabulous?!! 🐣😂🐣🐰🐣🐰🐣😂
