Thank you

Thank you so much for choosing to support Barts Charity in memory of your loved one. Heartfelt donations made in this way can have such a positive impact. 

Nothing can take away the pain of losing someone dear, but we hope to make it that little bit more manageable for families. That’s why we’ve supported the Barts Health bereavement service by providing discreet cloth bereavement bags, available for friends and family who need to bring home any belongings of loved ones. Something small  that the team recognised could make a difference during such a difficult time. 

And at Whipps Cross Hospital we’ve recently transformed a day room on the Sycamore Ward. New furniture and brighter walls now provide a calm and inviting atmosphere. The renovation has proven particularly beneficial for families needing a quiet space to mourn the loss of a loved one. Staff have commented on the incredible difference the new space has made, saying: “Families find comfort, staff discover respite and patients experience solace’ 

Every year Barts Charity funds dozens of projects like this across Barts Health helping to make things a little easier for patients and their families, as well as NHS staff, so they can continue to give great care to East London patients.
