Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page, and huge thanks for your support.

Emma is Patron of Friends of Stratford Hospital and as a company we are supporting her and the Friends' - a registered charity. Emma aims to raise the profile of this deserving and currently understated charity, and we will be doing this through various means.

The charity was formed in 1948, when the original hospital buildings were replaced following the introduction of the NHS. Since then, this local charity has continually provided essential equipment, services and added comforts for patients and staff — funding vital items that fall outside standard NHS provision, significantly enhancing the hospital experience for everyone who walks through its doors.

Emma first became involved with the charity in 2016 during a major fundraising campaign to create the hospital’s new state-of-the-art cancer and ophthalmology wards. The campaign was driven in part by the alarming statistic that 30% of local cancer patients were declining chemotherapy due to the distance required to travel for treatment. Thanks to the Friends’ efforts, those vital services are now available closer to home.

In addition to the cancer and ophthalmology units, the building now includes a community wellbeing hub, café, pharmacy, and most recently, a brand-new state-of-the-art diagnostics centre — further strengthening the hospital’s ability to deliver accessible, high-quality care to the local community.

On July 9th Emma Holman-West, members of the Alscot Team, friends, associates and aquaintances will be taking part in the Tempo Summer 5K Series held at Alscot.

This page has been set up to make it as easy as possible to donate.

With your help we can create awareness and raise the profile of this long-standing charitable cause that provides support for everyone that walks through the doors of Stratford Hospital.
