Help Transform Hospital Spaces

We understand that hospitals can sometimes feel overwhelming, clinical and a little scary, especially for children and their families.

That’s why we’re dedicated to transforming hospital spaces into warm, welcoming environments where everyone feels supported throughout their care.

From beautiful garden spaces to patient areas that are healing and bright, every project we support is designed with patients and staff at the heart.

Green Spaces

Across our hospitals, we’ve created beautiful gardens where patients and staff can find a peaceful moment to pause, breathe and recharge. You might have enjoyed the calm of these places during your stay. Gardens need ongoing care and your incredible support helps us nurture and maintain them.

Art that sparks joy

We fund murals and artwork that transform clinical areas into vibrant spaces. Recently, we awarded funding for sea-themed murals to be painted in children’s theatres to help distract and entertain children before surgery.

Sensory Items for Children’s Wards

We support and help create sensory environments so children feel happier, calmer and more comfortable during their time in hospital.

Improved Patient Areas

We help refurbish patient areas with comfy furnishings, calming décor and improved facilities that make a real difference in comfort and wellbeing. Often it’s the little things – atmospheric lighting, bedside radios and toys that help people feel more at home and less anxious.

“We have been so lucky to receive a grant from Plymouth Hospitals Charity. The addition of these decorations and equipment has allowed our rooms to become less ‘clinical’ and more colourful and welcoming for patients and families.”

"Patients and their loved ones can spend final precious moments in this tranquil garden, surrounded by natural light and calming greenery. This special space provides a welcome break from the intense atmosphere of the ICU, offering a peaceful setting for reflection, connection and saying goodbye."
