💑 Congratulations to Adrian and Mary who recently got married after being together for 22 years. 🎉The couple kindly requested donations to our Charity instead of wedding gifts and raised £550. Adrian received a heart transplant at Royal Papworth Hospital over a year ago and this was the couple’s way of saying thank you for the life-saving treatment and care he received. 🙏Thank you to all the happy couple’s wedding guests for donating to our Charity. 😊Your support ensures the very best facilities, services and equipment is available for our patients, their families and our staff. #MakeADifference @hearttransplant Weddinggiftideas

It's Christmas EVE!!! 🎄 🎄 as a little early present some beautiful new jackets have arrived for the Cardiac Surgery Team. This year we have supported departments across the hospital by providing them with beautiful, warm and reflective jackets with their departments and area of work on the back. When you visit us you will be able to easily identify teams and recognise they are cosy and cared for too! These jackets also help to identify our staff when we deliver clinics or present at conferences. So if you see us out and about please do come and say hello 👋 Thank you to everyone for supporting the charity and taking such good care of the staff who go above and beyond everyday for their patients 💙

It's Christmas Eve Eve... 🎄 🎇 Meet Tracy Simpson, a Specialist Nurse in the Palliative and Supportive Care department at Royal Papworth Hospital. Tracy and her colleagues work tirelessly to make sure their patients are always receiving the very best care, and are always thinking of new innovative ways to make patients feel as comfortable as possible. This is why we helped Tracy undertake a Reflexology course, via Jubilee College, to help widen her knowledge and allow her to introduce this new method to her patients. After an intense year of study, Tracy proudly completed the course on the 16th September 2023🎉 , and is now offering Reflexology to her patient group. Tracy also used her practice sessions with her friends and family as a way to make some money for Royal Papworth Charity by taking donations in lieu of her services. All to further support the needs of the hospital and staff, thank you Tracy!! Read Tracy's story https://bit.ly/4azxTQW

Day 22 is in recognition of the wonderful team at Nellies Cafe in Sutton. Since their establishment, they have raised thousands of pounds selling tea and homemade treats for everyone to enjoy.

Nellies has generously fundraised for Royal Papworth all year and we are all so grateful for the amazing generosity of the Sutton community and the incredible volunteers who make Nellies so wonderful .https://bit.ly/3TBrTAW
