🦣 There are some new faces waiting to welcome children to Torbay Hospital… including a woolly mammoth and a sabre-toothed tiger!

They’re all part of Bay of Wonders, a colourful new mural in our children’s eye clinic, created by South West artist The Art of Bex Glover with our eye clinic team.

There are lots of details for children and families to discover, with animals and plants from around Torbay and South Devon alongside prehistoric creatures inspired by the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark

A special thank you to Hannah Stewart and Katrina Farmer, who championed the idea, and to the whole eye clinic team who helped shape the mural and choose many of the animals featured.

Bay of Wonders was made possible by a generous legacy left to Torbay and South Devon NHS Charity to support ophthalmology services. 💙

We hope our younger visitors and their families enjoy exploring it and finding their favourite creatures.

We loved supporting our amazing Team Torbay & South Devon NHS Charity runners a week ago at the Torbay Half Marathon & 10K! 🏃‍♂️💙

It was fantastic to cheer on so many runners in our charity colours as they took on their challenge and raised money to support patients, families and NHS staff across Torbay and South Devon.

The atmosphere around the Bay was incredible, with runners and spectators coming together to create a day full of community spirit and encouragement.

A huge thank you to everyone who ran, donated or cheered from the sidelines. We couldn't be prouder of Team Torbay & South Devon NHS Charity! 💙

And the best news? We're already hearing from people who want to join us next time... 👀

As we mark Organ Donation Week, we're celebrating not only the incredible gift of organ donation, but also the people who help keep these stories at the heart of our community.

A huge thank you to Lottie and her family, whose hard work and fundraising made this memorial possible. Their efforts have created a meaningful space to honour donors and their families while raising awareness of the importance of organ donation.

We're so grateful for everything they have done. 💚

This Remember A Charity Week, we're celebrating the lasting difference that gifts in Wills can make.💙

Thanks to a generous legacy gift from Kenneth Zaple, we've been able to refurbish the pacemaker room in Torbay Hospital's Heart and Lung Unit and introduce beautiful artwork to help create a calmer, more welcoming environment.

Working with our Artist in Residence, Helen Snell, the team selected Through the Meadow by printmaker Niamh Geraghty Morris. The artwork provides a reassuring focal point for patients who may be feeling anxious about their appointment, helping to make the space feel less clinical and more connected to the world beyond the hospital walls.

It's a simple but powerful example of how a gift left in a Will can continue to make things better for future generations, supporting not only treatment but also comfort, dignity and reassurance at important moments in people's care.

After looking after loved ones, even a small gift in your Will could help create a lasting impact for patients and families across Torbay and South Devon.
