Amidst the COVID-19 crisis we have made 6 additional beds available to ease capacity for the NHS whilst continuing to support all patients, both in our in-patient unit and in their own homes, in challenging and rapidly changing circumstances. The challenge is going to be financial as well as clinical. We expect that our income may drop by around £1.5m over the coming year. Please help by donating today, by making a regular donation or by joining our lottery. Thank you.
