The Colchester and Ipswich Hospitals Charity raises money to improve facilities, fund new equipment, provide additional services, support staff development and initiate local medical research and innovative projects at The East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.

I am raising money for the Collingwood Centre at Colchester Hospital and for the development of the Time Garden at Ipswich hospital . Many of my family and friends have been cared for by the Collingwood team whose incredible kindness and expertise has made such a difference during some difficult times - always with a smile and gentle positivity. I am also supporting the Time Garden build at Ipswich Hospital which will provide a calm and beautiful environment for patients and their loved ones.

Every donation is greatly appreciated and makes a real and positive difference to the experience of being in hospital.
