12. General Information
Generous colleagues, volunteers and fundraisers have been supporting the Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity for 25 years – and we need your help now more than ever. The charity is officially registered with the Charity Commission (Registered Charity No 1054407) and aims to raise money to enhance the care patients, their families and carers receive in the community and at Rotherham Hospital. With support from our colleagues, members of the public, fundraisers and volunteers the charity raises money to help fund the added extras which really make a difference to thousands of patients of all ages every year in Rotherham. Generous donations received have enabled the charity to fund everything from toys for the Children’s Ward and artwork for the Special Care Baby Unit to a specialist heart scanner for youngsters and Purple Butterfly rooms, which offer privacy and dignity to families when time is most precious. The charity has three appeals – the Purple Butterfly Appeal, which supports end of life care, the Dr Ted children’s appeal and our Rotherham NHS Superheroes appeal for our amazing NHS colleagues. No matter how big or small, we are grateful for all your donations.
