Help us create more glorious gardens for hospital staff and patients

When you picture a hospital, what do you see? Plain white walls? Long empty corridors?

To our patients and visitors, the hospital environment can often feel strange and unfamiliar. Especially at times of stress and anxiety.

Gardens and green spaces in our hospitals have the power to soothe and calm, creating a warm and welcoming home away from home. Bright and uplifting outdoor areas can change the mood, transforming the hospital experience for patients, visitors and NHS staff.

Right now, we're working in partnership with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust to build more green spaces - just like the Sanctuary Garden - across our five hospitals. Creating these tranquil outdoor areas will help us improve care for our patients, boost staff wellbeing and support vital sustainability initiatives.

"We

"Our hope is that we can bring some small comfort in the very darkest of moments."

Creating warm and welcoming outdoor spaces like the Sanctuary Garden will also help to improve the care our specialist bereavement support teams can provide for friends and relatives who have suffered a loss.

"The garden is a fantastic example of that collaboration in practice and I know it will have an enormous impact in terms of the care our bereavement support team can provide for friends and relatives in difficult moments."

We're grateful to our many generous donors, including NHS Charities Together and the late Suzanne Pallaris, for helping us create the Sanctuary Garden at Charing Cross Hospital. Without their generous support, the garden would not have been possible.
