WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020?

In 2020, funds that were raised went towards the refurbishment and upgrading of the Gym in the Physiotherapy Department.   Well done to Elaine Ross the department manager for driving this project.  Physio Gym Project 2020 (click to view)

  

NOVEMBER 2020 – We took delivery of a new Peugeot Boxer Van and it has been sent to be converted into a Wheelchair Accessible Bus.  This bus was funded by the proceeds from our 2019 Annual Golf Day.

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.

 

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.
