💜 One year of the Garden Suite
This Baby Loss Awareness Week, we’re marking one year since the reopening of our Garden Suite at Croydon University Hospital.
The Garden Suite provides a private, peaceful and comforting space within our maternity unit for families experiencing pregnancy loss, keeping them close to our specialist maternity teams while giving them the privacy and dignity they need at an incredibly difficult time.
The refurbishment was made possible thanks to generous support from Croydon Health Charity, Inspiration Healthcare and Royal Parks Half Marathon fundraisers, alongside the valuable contribution of volunteers and, most importantly, the insight and involvement of bereaved families.
Over the past year, the space has been transformed with new furnishings, flooring, landscaping, plants and trees, creating a calm environment where families can spend time together.
The project was led by Hannah Lloyd, Pregnancy Loss Specialist Midwife, in partnership with bereaved families.
We know that the environment around families matters. Privacy, nature and a sense of calm can all help to provide comfort and dignity during moments of profound loss.
The Garden Suite complements our wider bereavement support, including our annual Butterfly Service for Baby Loss, taking place this Sunday.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make the Garden Suite what it is today, and to the families who have helped shape this special space. 💜
