May Supporter Update
Welcome to your May update from Nottingham Hospitals Charity. This month you can find out how your donations are supporting therapeutic art sessions for patients at Hayward House, and why one mum ran the London Marathon in aid of Nottingham Children’s Hospital.
Bringing art to Hayward House
Thanks to your donations, we’ve funded a range of arts and crafts activities for patients receiving palliative care at Hayward House.
As well as providing a welcome distraction from their treatment, patients are also benefiting from the sense of community and connection the art sessions are fostering.
