Next up joining the amazing fundraising efforts for Ward 5 & 6 at Dewsbury and District Hospital is Matthew — a Senior Rotational Physiotherapist on the ward.

When we asked Matthew why he wanted to get involved with the fundraising challenge, he said:

"I guess the main reason was I wanted a challenge after breaking my arm to get me fit again. I have never done anything by halves, so I knew this would be the perfect challenge for me."

Matthew will be taking on the incredible Endure 24 challenge, where teams take on a 24-hour relay, running 8km loops as many times as possible.

This is a huge challenge, and we are absolutely behind Matt as he pushes himself through this incredible event. It’s fantastic to see our team coming together, taking on new challenges, and raising money to support our wards.

We’ll keep you updated with Matthew’s training journey, progress, and all his amazing efforts along the way.

Good luck Matt — we’re all cheering you on! 💪

🎉Celebrating one of our amazing fundraisers!🎉

In case you haven't heard, one of our amazing Mid Yorks staff, Hayley, is taking on an Ultra Marathon for MY Hospitals Charity! We're incredibly thankful to Hayley for taking on this amazing challenge, read about her story below:

"We’re doing this to raise funds for Elderly Care patients at Mid Yorkshire Hospitals, helping to provide essential resources that make a real, meaningful difference to patient experience - particularly for those living with dementia, confusion, or requiring enhanced care."

"The funds raised will go towards items that support stimulation, engagement, and comfort, such as: Speakers for music and familiar sounds, Games and activity resources, Doll therapy and sensory items and other tools that promote calm, reassurance, and connection."

"We’re also fundraising to improve care for palliative patients and their families, including the purchase of an additional foldable bed, allowing loved ones to rest and stay close during incredibly difficult times."

On the 9th of June , it was a real pleasure to meet Sharron, a Clinical Audit Facilitator, who took on the Leeds Half Marathon back in May in support of MY Hospitals Charity.💜

Sharron recently presented a cheque to the Respiratory PERT team, a team she works closely with. Speaking about her fundraising, Sharron said:
"I recently participated in the Leeds Half Marathon and chose to donate my sponsorship funds to the Respiratory PERT team. As I work in clinical audit and collaborate closely with the PERT team, I wanted to direct my fundraising towards an area that aligns with and supports the work I am involved in."
We can't thank Sharron enough for going above and beyond to raise funds for MY Hospitals Charity. Taking on the Leeds Half Marathon is no small achievement, and her dedication and support will make a real difference.✨

If Sharron has inspired you to take on a challenge of your own, we'd love to hear from you! We have a range of fundraising events coming up, including the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, the Great North Run, our newly announced charity skydive, and much more.🎉

💜Every day, our community and discharge teams support some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.💜

Our staff are meeting patients who are struggling to afford basic essentials such as food, toiletries, bedding and household items. Many are older people living alone, individuals with long-term health conditions, people experiencing mental health difficulties, or those facing financial hardship. Sometimes, something as simple as providing a microwave, food, toiletries or warm bedding can help prevent a hospital admission, support a safe discharge home, or provide comfort and dignity at a difficult time.

We are launching an appeal for donations of new essential items to help us create emergency support packs for patients in crisis. We're in need of:

• Toiletries and personal hygiene products
• Long-life food and ready meals
• UHT milk
• Tea, coffee and hot drinks
• Tea towels
• New bath towels
• New bedding and duvets
• Household cleaning products

(All bedding, duvets and towels must be new and unopened.)

Every donation, could make a real difference to a vulnerable patient when they need support most. Donations can be dropped off at the My Hospitals Charity Hub at Pinderfields Hospital, Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm.✨

Thank you for helping us do more for our families, patients and communities💜
