- Date awarded: February 2025
- Awarded value: £300
- Location: Glenrothes Hospital
Ward 2 in Glenrothes Hospital is lucky enough to have it’s own garden area. The space itself however, was previously somewhat bare and unloved.
Having heard about the grant making powers of Fife Health Charity however, Senior Charge Nurse, Lorraine Hands and her team decided to apply for funding to improve the space.
Just £300 in the form of a micro grant was all that was required to fill the space with summer plants and provided outdoor seating opportunities. “Over the summer months the garden has been popular with patients and their visitors along with the ward team”, said Lorraine. The appearance of the garden has been transformed and it is now a welcoming place to sit and enjoy the fresh air and colourful planting.
It is hard being in hospital and I like to walk round the garden with the nurses. I enjoy sitting with my family and looking at the lovely plants.
