Frimley Health Charity scoops charity of the year award
Last year Frimley Health Charity was named Healthcare Charity of the Year for the south of England.
The award, part of the Prestige Awards 2021 run by business insight specialists Corporate LiveWire, is the first won by the charity.
Judges said they were impressed with the charity team’s personal touch, consistency of reviews and community feel.
They added: “It’s extra special to know you are making a positive difference and we hope this achievement brings more success moving forward.”
The Frimley Health Charity helps to improve lives of our patients, staff and visitors, working across all our sites to fund new projects and take others to a greater level than would otherwise have been possible. This includes purchasing cutting edge equipment to support our drive for excellence and helping to create calm, stress-reducing environments for patients and staff, such as our recent staff room upgrades.
Dementia Appeal aims to transform patient care
This year, 3,500 diagnosed dementia patients will come through our doors – and every single one will need unique care.
For someone with dementia, being taken to hospital can be incredibly distressing. On top of the physical pain you are suffering, there’s the confusion of not knowing where you are, or why you are there.
We launched our Dementia Appeal to raise £850,000 by 2023, which will help transform our hospitals and make them as dementia friendly as they can be. That means creating calming environments for our patients and providing our dedicated teams with the training needed to provide the unique care that every patient with dementia deserves.
