Patient and Family Experience
Every Spirit, Every Step appeal
We provide £90,000 to our Chaplaincy every year to ensure they can continue their vital support of our patients’ and families’ wellbeing.
Supporting emotional and spiritual wellbeing
Our Chaplaincy team seeks to both lift and soothe spirits by providing spiritual, religious and pastoral support for all patients and families in our hospitals. This is a much-valued and important service.
Thanks to donations, we are able to support our Chaplaincy by funding key parts of its service, including:
Bereavement support
The team delivers year-round support to those experiencing the loss of loved ones and organises two remembrance events every year – a memorial service at the hospital and a memorial picnic at the National Memorial Arboretum.
Celebrating multi-faith festivals
Our Chaplaincy organises and celebrates a wide range of religious and cultural festivals across our Trust with the goal of affirming diversity and inclusion, and supporting patients, families and staff in celebrating these important events, even while in hospital.
Patient choir
Music and singing lifts spirits and is proven to have many positive benefits. Our Chaplaincy runs a patient choir and invites our young children to participate and contribute in whatever way they are able, with the aim of improving their mood and recovery time.
Our Chaplaincy team provides a vital service and is there for our patients and families when they need them the most. Please donate to help them continue their work.
