This June, Neil is taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise vital funds for the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

Alongside his daughters Ellie and Rose, with his wife supporting the team every step of the way, Neil will attempt to climb the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales within just 24 hours.

That means:
⛰️ 23 miles of walking
⛰️ 3,064 metres of ascent
⛰️ 462 miles of driving
⛰️ All in just 24 hours

Having experienced first-hand the life-changing care provided by the National Spinal Injuries Centre after a spinal cord injury in 2015, Neil is now giving back.
Through taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge, he hopes to raise vital funds to support the Centre’s pioneering rehabilitation and specialist care for others facing similar challenges.

The National Spinal Injuries Centre is the largest spinal injuries centre in the UK, providing specialist care and lifelong rehabilitation for adults and children living with spinal cord injuries. Many of its pioneering treatments and rehabilitation innovations have been made possible through charitable support, helping patients rebuild their independence and reach their full potential.

By supporting Neil, you are helping to continue this incredible work and make a real difference to patients and families facing life-changing injuries.

Did you know that more than half of us are estimated to develop cardiovascular disease in our lifetime? 🫀

• By 2040, up to 2 million more people in the UK could be living with cardiovascular disease
• Around 50% of heart attacks and strokes in the UK are linked to high blood pressure

Access to the very best NHS equipment for diagnosis and treatment is vital in helping more people live healthier, longer lives.

That’s why supporting improvements in cardiovascular care matters, and why Nigel, our Head of Corporate Partnerships, is going the extra mile to help make a difference.

150km. 6 Ultra Challenges. One mission. 🏃‍♂️

This Sunday, Nigel takes on the Brighton Loop, the second of six Ultra Challenges, all to raise funds for life-saving cardiology equipment.

Having already raised nearly £7,000 towards his £25,000 target, Nigel is proving that every step can make a difference.

Together, we can make a difference.

AWARD-WINNING ‘ROOM TO BREATHE’ GARDEN OFFICIALLY OPENS IN ITS NEW HOME AT AMERSHAM HOSPITAL

The Countess Howe, His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire and Nicola Gilham, Chair of Buckinghamshire Healthcare Charity (BHC), joined together on Wednesday (6th March) to officially open Amersham Hospital’s award-winning new Room to Breathe Hospital Garden.

Supported by Buckinghamshire Healthcare Charity, the stunning 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal-winning garden has been given a new home, where it will continue to provide a permanent wellbeing sanctuary for patients, visitors, and staff to enjoy.

Created by designers Jen Donnelly Garden Design and Catherine Gibbon Garden Design, the garden was originally designed for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in support of the Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA) and draws inspiration from Jen’s experience waiting in hospital, as her son, who has Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), underwent brain surgery.

Commenting on her gold medal, Jen said: “We still pinch ourselves at being RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 Gold Medallists at our debut show. The experience was incredibly special, made even more memorable by the wonderful support and encouragement of family and friends.”

Catherine added: “Relocating our garden to Amersham Hospital gives the project an even deeper meaning. We’re delighted to know that patients, families, and staff are already finding comfort in the space, somewhere to reflect and recharge.”

Commenting on the official opening and relocation of the garden, Buckinghamshire Healthcare Charity CEO, Karen Shardlow, said: “On behalf of everyone involved in this incredible project, I’d firstly like to thank The Countess Howe, His Majesty's Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire and Nicola Gilham, Chair of Buckinghamshire Healthcare Charity, who all performed the ceremonial ribbon cutting last week. We were honoured to have them in attendance as our guests on the day.”

She added: "Huge thanks to everyone involved—the talented garden designers Jen Donnelly and Catherine Gibbon, Amersham Hospital Gardens Project Volunteers,The Landscape Group who provided the landscaping, and Tendercare Nurseries in Denham for the plants.

“The garden’s relocation to Amersham Hospital will be a lasting legacy to their Chelsea experience and will be an uplifting and tranquil space where people can relax and enjoy the wonderful, therapeutic surroundings for many years to come.”
