Today we said goodbye to a much loved trustee of The Friends of Thame Hospital

In Loving Memory of Elizabeth Bedford.
17th June 1942 - 25th July 2026

We are saddened by the loss of Elizabeth, but even through our tears we celebrate a life so richly lived.

She gave her time, kindness and care so generously to her community, and the people of Thame were always close to her heart. Her work with The friends of Thame Hospital and Thame Community Car touched many lives spanning many years.

Even when Alzheimer's brought confusion into her life, her heart never forgot her family, the people and the places she cared about. She would still find her way to the hospital to see the friends who meant so much to her and a place of familiarity and comfort.

She will be deeply missed, but may her heart and mind now be at peace while we remember her with fond memories.

Did you know that when you travel, you can be given a lanyard or badges to signal that you or someone you are travelling with has a hidden disability?

These can be used to assist with access to priority lanes when there are large queues of people, like at airport security, or to access priority boarding for aeroplanes. At a glance, staff know you may need additional time or support during your journey.
Most airports and train stations support the "Sunflower" Scheme and provide Sunflower lanyards to people with hidden disabilities and their travel companions completely free of charge.

The great thing about these lanyards is you can use them anytime you go out, whether it's to the supermarket, cinema, or the bank, and they will recognise you may need additional time or support during your visit.
