The Willow Room is a space in Kingston Hospital for relatives to rest and reflect at times when a loved one is critically unwell. It is simple - just a couple of sofas and a chair that reclines - but it gave us a place to sleep for the last few days of Richard's life.

The Friends of Kingston Hospital collected donations to create this space from a previously unused hospital room. It receives no funding from the NHS. We hope that our donation will go towards furnishing the room so that it may help more families like ours.
