Care packs for patients
As a hospital charity we’re dedicated to supporting patients by providing care packs that bring comfort during their hospital stay. Our packs include thoughtful items like sleep kits with ear plugs, eye masks, and rest tips to help ease the experience of being in a busy ward. Thanks to the kind support of Betty Basics, we also provide women's underclothes and soft pants for patients who arrive unprepared or in distressing situations. These essential packs, lovingly assembled by our team of volunteers, are distributed by healthcare staff in Emergency, Maternity, and Women's Health wards—offering practical support and a sense of dignity when it's needed most.
“I came into hospital unexpectedly and had nothing with me—no toothbrush, no change of clothes, nothing. Receiving the care pack meant so much. I was able to brush my teeth, comb my hair, and change into something comfortable. It made me feel more like myself again during a really overwhelming time. I’ll never forget that kindness.”
