In  2015 we completed the Grand canyon trek for stars appeal and the Pembroke Unit , we were so inspired we decided that we wanted to do another and luckily this opportunity arrived. This time we are fundraising for Engage and Elevate which is a programme that has been set up to enhance the patients stay while in hospital, it is for young and old alike. The programme includes  music, reading , poetry , one to one or group sessions etc. do visit their website for more information, but they are invaluable and a great asset to the hospital, and the patients. While I was the manager on  the Pembroke Unit engage/elevate would visit the unit twice a week to play music for the in patients and also those having chemotherapy as outpatients, I really came to understand how much /patients/relatives and people enjoyed hearing the various artists play their instruments. Fern has also witnessed first hand the innovation that this programme gives to the well being of  elderly patients spending long term stays in hospital which can be isolating and lonely,through her visits to an elderly relative. Therefore please support us with our fund raising for such a wonderful inspiring addition to hospital life, Carolyn and Fern.
