Thank you for choosing to support Newcastle Hospitals Charity.

Raising money for the hospital arts programme to bring art and music to people receiving treatment in hospital and to support staff wellbeing. The programme brings artists into hospitals to perform and is also building resources to be used on the wards to give access to creativity in recovery (art and music trolleys for example). The project also supports staff wellbeing initiatives based on creativity and collating narratives.

Everyone who knew my Dad knows how passionate he was about art and music, it was everything to him. Over the last few months he needed a lot of support and treatment in hospital, and we are grateful that there are so many wonderful staff trying hard everyday to care for patients and also try to lift spirits.

We would love to offer some support for this programme to say thank you to the NHS staff who helped my Dad (and us), and to do this in a way that would be very close to my Dad's heart.

Thank you
