Time Garden
Campaign by Colchester Hospitals Charity (RCN 1051504)
The vision for our “Time Garden” is that it will be a place for quiet contemplation, peaceful reflection and privacy towards the end of life

Story

After a tougher than usual training regime I've made it up to 21 miles and am now happy to say with a bit of certainty that it's full steam ahead and I will be celebrating St George's Day this year by running the 26.2 miles that is the London Marathon! 

So why Colchester Hospital Time Garden? My good friend Hattie works in palliative care at Colchester, and has been tirelessly working to create a beautiful space for people to spend time in when they are faced with weeks staying in hospital, some of them knowing they will never leave. I truly believe that as a society we need to do better with the way we care for people at the end of their life, and strive to make their last days as peaceful and enjoyable as they can be. The Colchester Time Garden will be a significant step towards doing this, and if it is a success then hopefully other hospitals around the country will follow suite and do the same. 

Please donate to this extremely worthy cause. Every £5 helps, no amount is too small.
