Our linen cupboard is almost bare. We use it to provide clothing to patients who don’t have clean, comfortable clothes to go home in.

Throughout the year, there are many people who really value and appreciate the kind donation of some loose-fitting clothing to go home in. But we can only provide this support with the help of the local community, and through your generous donations.

⭐What you can donate:
✅Jumpers
✅T-shirts
✅Trousers
✅Shorts
✅Skirts
✅Jogging bottoms

🚫Please don’t donate:
❌Underwear
❌Shoes
❌Coats
❌Sequined or sparkly tops

All items must be clean and in good condition.

📍Where to donate:
The UHS Patient and Family Support Hub, B Level East Wing (near the Eye Unit), open 09:30am - 4pm Monday - Friday (excluding bank holidays).

Or drop off at our community partner: Adjustamatic Beds, 280 Wi******er Road, SO16 6TQ. Open Monday to Saturday, 9:30am–5:30pm

Got questions? Call 0800 484 0135 or email [email protected]

One of our inpatients enjoyed spending time in our garden with a volunteer, choosing books to read during their admission, and making a short trip to M&S this afternoon. Fresh air, social connection and a change of scenery can make a real difference to wellbeing and recovery in hospital 🍃❤️
