The new fridge freezer in Integrated Therapies, funded by our charity, is now up and running and has already had a significant positive impact. The team were all smiles when the fridge freezer arrived.

 “Thank you so much for this fridge. It means a lot to the team, as part of the kitchen we often bring in patients to complete assessments and the previous fridge was in such a state of disrepair it was embarrassing and felt really unprofessional. The door opened the wrong way, the seal was broken and there was no handle for our patients with visual and cognitive problems this was a real hindrance to their rehab."

- Tim Perceval-Broadfield, Clinical Lead Therapist in Stroke

He added: "Now the staff feel proud to bring patients into the kitchen and

know they can do valuable rehab. It has really refreshed the kitchen. On top of this to have a fridge with enough room to store our large teams food has had a big impact on their mood and they feel really valued to have this, looking forward to the summer where they can put the freezer to good use.”

This shows how even small changes can have a big impact.
