In 2022/23, we awarded just under 54% of our grant funding expenditure to environmental projects.
From refurbishing rooms for relatives visiting loved ones in intensive care to providing fish tanks for paediatric wards and wall art depicting the cancer treatment journey, our focus always is improving the medical environment for patients and their families.
The largest grant we awarded was to fund the building of the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease, a new care centre for patients at Seacroft Hospital. The centre will provide a calm, welcoming space for patients and their families to access clinical and holistic care, and we are working closely with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust to fundraise and plan for this unique project’s completion.
Elsewhere, another long-term funding project reached its conclusion this year. Kickstarted back in 2017 with a successful £2.4m appeal, the much-anticipated MR Sim (magnetic resonance imaging in radiotherapy for the purposes of simulation) was installed in March 2022 and will transform the way radiotherapy treatment is delivered to thousands of patients every year. In 2022/23, we awarded additional funding for nature-themed wall art for the MR Sim clinical rooms to create a calming and welcoming environment for patients.
