Did you know access to green space can help reduce stress and support recovery? 🌱

Through the Bright Garden Appeal, we’re transforming outdoor spaces into places of comfort, reflection and healing.

Across Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, patients can step outside the clinical environment and spend time in calming green spaces.

At The Alnwick Garden, community members come together to grow, connect and thrive through shared activities.

To continue nurturing and developing these spaces, we need your help. Could you bring us one step closer to our target?

Bright Charity will be able to provide crucial support to help improve the wellbeing of local NHS staff, both now and in the future, thanks to a grant of £201,815 from NHS Charities Together and NHS England.

The grant has been awarded as part of an £11 million programme – which includes a £5 million contribution from NHS England – and is one of 61 ambitious projects across England to receive funding from the programme since its launch in 2024.

Through this funding, Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will enhance and expand their existing Safe, Fit and Well programme, helping staff improve their physical and mental wellbeing through tailored, one-to-one support.

Building on a successful pilot, it is expanding into a proactive service that identifies and supports those at risk of ill health or sickness absence earlier.

When Jeanette met Molly 💛🐾

Ward 4 at Hexham General Hospital recently got a visit from Wag and Company volunteer Lesley and her adorable pup Molly.

Bright Charity supports Wag dogs to visit our patients and staff, bringing a bit of brightness to their day.

For patients like Jeanette, you can see how much it meant to her just by looking at the smile on her face!

Wishing Lesley and Molly a warm welcome to Hexham. We look forward to having you back soon!

At Bright Charity, more than a quarter of our income comes from gifts and in wills.

It is an honour to receive a gift, and it helps us to enhance the care and experience of our patients in hospital and across the communities of Northumberland and North Tyneside.

We realise that your priority is the happiness and wellbeing of your loved ones, but a thoughtful charitable gift can create a lasting legacy, helping to positively shape and impact the future of patient care for generations to come.

Shine a light that lives on 🌟
