November 2020

February 2020

In February 2020 the Coffee Shop was painted and supplied with new tables and chairs. The concourse area was also treated to some new furniture.

May 2020

In May we took delivery of Tanita which is a scales which gives multi-frequency body composition analysis

The COVID Pandemic Restrictions made it very difficult for Residents, Patients and Staff in RHD to keep up good sprits when Visitors were not allowed to visit relatives and friends. We were delighted to supply 20 x 10″ tablets to the wards so that communications could be visual for everyone.

Our 2019 Family Fun Day raised enough money to refurbish two of the family rooms in the hospital. This will be completed when COVID restrictions are lifted sufficiently to allow works to be carried out.
