Welcome to Focus, your quarterly magazine from Imperial Health Charity.
Welcome to Focus Magazine, bringing you the latest news on Imperial Health Charity’s work. This edition features our project in partnership with Bush Theatre supporting people who have had a brain injury or a stroke (page 10), the new murals in the Hammersmith Hospital subway (page 6), and highlights from the ‘My Thank You’ campaign, sharing messages received by NHS staff (page 7).
These stories reflect the breadth of our support for our hospitals and wider community. I’m very proud of what we have achieved, and as this will be my final introduction to Focus before retiring at the end of July, I’d like to thank some people who’ve been instrumental in the Charity’s transformation since I became Chief Executive in 2014.
First, my wonderful colleagues – your commitment and enthusiasm inspire me every day. We’ve built an excellent relationship with our partner NHS Trust, and I’m particularly grateful to Professor Tim Orchard, Trust Chief Executive, for his unwavering support of the Charity. Finally, our Board of Trustees, who give their time and expertise to help us navigate the wider strategic challenges. In particular, I’m grateful to our current Chair, Dr Andreas Raffel, and his predecessor David Crundwell – both have been everything a Chief Executive could hope for in a Chair.
I leave the Charity in the capable hands of my successor, Gail Scott-Spicer, who joins us in September from King’s College Hospital Charity. Finally, I’d like to thank all of you, our supporters, for everything you do to help us in our vital work.
Chief Executive, Imperial Health Charity

A new way to play at St Mary’s Children’s Emergency Department
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have now installed a new interactive projector using the money raised by you in support of our Winter Appeal.
The brand-new technology has been installed in one of the consultation rooms in the Children’s Emergency Department (ED), offering a world of colourful games and soothing scenes at the touch of a button.
The interactive projector allows children to pop virtual balloons, watch woodland animals appear, and much more.
The innovative technology encourages children and families to engage in play while waiting for their appointments, which can be a daunting time. Staff have told us how they have enjoyed trialling elements overnight to support their
own wellbeing during quieter moments.
St Mary’s Children’s ED has also been able to install a sensory bubble machine thanks to money raised during our Winter Appeal. This offers calming visuals and gentle movement to help soothe anxious or distressed children.
The Trust has also contributed to the renovation by introducing a lockable cabinet, improving security and securely storing medical equipment that was previously left out where it could be accidentally damaged.
The Trust will be improving the seating and flooring within the unit, meaning that, together with the charity’s support, the whole space will be transformed into a much improved and welcoming, accessible
environment for children and families.

Could your child’s school be our next charity partner?
Is your child’s school looking for a local charity to support? We’re looking for schools to partner with us, and you could help!
By joining us as a charity partner, pupils and staff can raise vital funds to help young patients receiving care across our hospitals.
We’ve been fortunate to work with many wonderful schools, who have raised funds through non-uniform days, sports events, school fairs, and other creative activities led by the children themselves. We also love attending assemblies and school events to show
pupils how their support makes a positive difference for other young people just like them. Partnering with us is a fantastic way to bring the school community together and show children how rewarding it can be to make a difference.
If you think your school might be interested, we’d love to hear from you.
To nominate your child’s school, please get in touch with our Fundraising Manager, Beth Morgan, at Beth.Morgan@ imperialcharity.org.uk
Critical now on Netflix
We’re featured in Critical: Between Life and Death, now streaming on Netflix.
The series features a behindthe-scenes look at St Mary's Hospital and London's wider Major Trauma Network and offers a first-hand look at the incredible hard work and dedication of our NHS staff saving lives on the front line.
At St Mary’s Hospital, we meet a team of orthopaedic surgeons preparing for a high-risk pelvic surgery, where any margin of error could cause permanent nerve damage.
Over the last decade, we've raised over £267,832 towards major trauma care. This has funded equipment for critically ill patients, staff wellbeing projects, research to improve care, and spaces where families and loved ones can receive news with dignity and privacy.
Watch Critical to see the incredible Major Trauma team in action. You can donate to our Major Trauma Ward at imperialcharity.org.uk/support-us

She will take over from Ian Lush, who retires in July, and begin her new role in September 2025.
Gail said: “I am immensely excited to lead Imperial Health Charity. As we enter a new strategic period, I’m confident we can help our hospitals do even more, and support staff, patients, and communities to thrive.”

Celebrating our amazing volunteers during Volunteers’ Week
InJune, as part of national Volunteers’ Week, we showed our appreciation for our fantastic team of volunteers, who give up their time to support patients, staff, and visitors across our hospitals.
Last year more than 1,000 volunteers spent a combined 35,000 hours supporting with a range of tasks including wayfinding, delivering meals, therapy dog visits, collecting medication, meeting and greeting visitors and taking part in activities with patients.
Throughout the week, we organised art tours of our hospitals for our volunteers, sent them thank you cards, and heard feedback from staff, patients and visitors about the huge and invaluable contributions our volunteers have made.
As part of the week’s celebrations, we also held our summer thank you event to recognise our incredible volunteers. We were delighted to present Length of Service Awards to our long-standing volunteers, and Make a Difference Awards –nominated by volunteers, Trust
staff and members of the public – to those volunteers who’ve gone the extra mile this year.
The volunteers were treated to some tasty food and drinks and had the opportunity for some fun and games with giant Jenga, foosball and pool. They also enjoyed a very popular photobooth, with a queue that lasted all evening!
One staff member said: “Thank you to all our volunteers for your support and hard work! You always make sure all patients’ requirements have been satisfied and put smiles on so many faces. You are all an asset to the NHS and your work never goes unnoticed. Bless you all!”
A huge thank you to our volunteering team for putting the week together, to all the staff at the Trust for supporting our volunteers, and of course to each and every one of our wonderful volunteers for everything they do. You are all stars!

Hammersmith’s
subway art now complete
Three bespoke artworks lining the refurbished subway at Hammersmith Hospital are now complete.
‘Nature Walk’, by Lara Harwood, is brightening the day for patients, staff, and visitors to the hospital.
The commission was inspired by green spaces in the local area, including Wormwood Scrubs and Hammersmith Wetlands. The artworks bring colour and natural beauty to people’s commutes from one side of the hospital to the other. Accompanying texts include images of Lara’s research and preparatory drawings, providing a fascinating insight into her process.
Created in collaboration with NHS staff, this uplifting installation is part of our mission to enhance hospital environments through art, bringing a bit of nature indoors.
Lara Harwood said: "I learnt how to make artworks which are seen and experienced through peripheral vision rather than face on. The corridor is not somewhere to stop and contemplate, so the artwork needs to move along with the people as they go. Hopefully it feels lively!"
Imperial Health Charity is grateful to Celia Hensman MBE, formerly Chair of charitable funds for Hammersmith Hospital, whose generous legacy supported this project.

Improving Nutrition for Trauma Patients in ICU
Research funded by Imperial Health Charity reveals vital insights into patient care.
Thanks to a research fellowship funded by Imperial Health Charity, important new findings could help improve care for patients recovering from major trauma in intensive care.
The study, led by Carys Davies, looked at how well patients in ICU receive the nutrition they need after a serious injury. It found that many of these patients don’t always get enough nutrition through the feeding methods used in hospital, which can affect how well and how quickly they recover.
Carys carried out her research between October 2023 and October 2024, supported by our Research Fellowships programme, which gives NHS staff the time and funding to explore ideas that could make a real difference to patients.
Her findings showed that:
• Most trauma patients in ICU need to be fed through a tube using what's called enteral nutrition.
• Many of these patients aren’t getting enough nutrition during their time in ICU.
• Men with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and patients who are more seriously ill when they arrive in intensive
care are more likely to face challenges with getting the nutrition they need.
• When patients don’t get the nutrition they need, their recovery can take longer and may be more complicated.
“This research helps us understand a really important part of ICU care that often goes unnoticed,” said Carys. “By learning more about what gets in the way of good nutrition, we can start to find better ways to support patients when they need it most.”
Carys’s project is one of many made possible by Imperial Health Charity’s support for research across the Trust. Each year, we fund a group of NHS staff to take their first steps into research, and support them to carry out studies that could lead to better care and outcomes for patients.
By supporting research like this, our generous donors and fundraisers are helping us make a lasting impact on patient care across our hospitals.
Your chance to say thank you
Our My Thank You campaign at St Mary’s Hospital and Western Eye has seen lots of grateful messages shared by patients about the brilliant care they’ve received from NHS staff. Below are a few examples, we hope you enjoy reading them!
“My heartfelt thank you for the conscientious care and for keeping me entertained as I recovered!”
“All staff at MRI mobile unit; many thanks for your super-fast service and friendly approach on a cold day”
“Thank you to all the staff who were very helpful and kind to me, putting me at ease, as well as being very professional. A special thanks to Dr Maysa Kareem.”
“Rosario, you were so kind to me after my endoscopy procedure and made me feel so relaxed. I also wanted to thank David in the admin team for making the unexpected move of my appointment at the last minute so straightforward, and to the entire team at St Mary’s Hospital endoscopy team, who were all incredible. I had a really positive experience during the procedure and aftercare. Everyone was fantastic."
Neighbourhood Doulas
advocate for local at-risk mothers
Through our Compassionate Communities grants programme, we’re supporting a local organisation which helps at-risk and vulnerable pregnant women in North West London.
Neighbourhood Doulas supports mothers facing complex challenges during their pregnancy and birth, including language barriers, unstable housing, domestic violence, racism or immigration concerns.
One mother shared how her Doula completely transformed her life, supporting her when she was struggling with her mental health: “I was alone, with
prenatal depression and anxiety. Completely alone – no birthing partner and no family, but I had a Doula, and that’s what made the difference in having my voice heard, my needs listened to, and a different outcome to my birthing story.”
“I can't put in words how important it is to have someone who speaks on your behalf when you are vulnerable. I was in pain, I was ready to just give birth and sign the rights of my child away and here was my Doula advocating that my voice and needs be heard.”
“Having someone who was there for me was life-changing because now I’m a mom, and I have my son. I kept my child because all I needed was support at a time when I was drowning.”
With our funding they delivered free birth education classes for individuals referred by NHS safeguarding midwives, as well
as one-to-one birth support for 10 women who might otherwise go through labour alone, offering interpretation support so women who speak little or no English can understand their rights, and make informed decisions about their bodies and their babies.
One of the Doulas shared: “This isn’t just about better birth outcomes, though those matter deeply. It’s about dignity. It’s about being seen and respected. It’s about breaking cycles of fear and disempowerment and replacing them with trust, agency, and hope.
“We’re proud to work alongside our local NHS safeguarding midwives, and with this funding, we can reach more women who need us most.”

Imperial Health Charity awarded Investing in Volunteers' accreditation for the third time
We’re delighted to announce that in July, Imperial Health Charity was awarded the prestigious Investing in Volunteer status for the third time.
Investing in Volunteers is the UK quality standard for all organisations involving volunteers, and aims to improve the quality of the volunteering experience for all volunteers.
To assess the programme, Investing in Volunteers interviewed 60 volunteers across various roles, ages, and hospital sites, as well as seven members of charity staff and 10 NHS staff who work alongside volunteers.
Their feedback highlighted the positive impact of volunteering on their personal and professional lives. One NHS staff member shared: “We couldn’t function without volunteers; they’re our eyes and ears. We can do our jobs better because of the support of volunteers, and that ultimately means a better experience for patients.”
Several volunteers also shared the sense of satisfaction they felt at being able to give back. One shared: “My children were born here; it holds a special place in my heart. I enjoy seeing patients’ faces light up when they have someone to talk to.”
Head of Volunteering, Chirs Neal said: “Volunteers have a big impact on our patients, visitors and staff and I’m proud that our volunteering programme has been recognised as industry leading with volunteers reporting such a high-quality experience. A big thank you to all our volunteers who make such a difference and to the volunteering team for delivering
such a great programme.”
Our volunteers make a meaningful difference every day – from meeting and greeting patients at the front doors of the hospitals, supporting patients at the bedside with activities and during mealtimes, and providing specialist support through roles such as gardening volunteers, library service or breastfeeding support. For young people, the Youth Volunteering Programme offers a chance to give back to their local hospital, while the Volunteer Employability Programme provides a pathway into careers in health and social care with specialist training and development.
Since the charity took ownership of the volunteering programme in 2016, its growth has been incredible. In the last year alone, more than 1,000 volunteers gave over 35,000 hours, across over 12,000 shifts, supporting patients 184,000 times, making a real difference to everyone who enters the hospital doors.

Survivors of brain injury and stroke benefit from Bush Theatre partnership
Braininjury and stroke survivors received a helping hand in their recovery through a creative programme we delivered in collaboration with Bush Theatre.
Over six months, the group of seven people built relationships with each other, using creative methods to capture their thoughts and feelings, culminating in a performance titled ‘We Should Start Again’, a powerful exploration of their experience of rebuilding their lives after brain injury and stroke. The performance included a collection of poetry on the theme of recovery, and filmed monologues telling the participants’ personal stories of
stroke or brain injury through movement.
One participant, Abigail, shared the positive impact of the project. She said: “It was good for me mentally, being around people and talking more.
“I felt more compassion and more patience for myself.”
She shared that the project also helped her realise the importance of perseverance: “Anything is possible if you want to participate. Being in the group encouraged me not to disappoint. At the end of the day, you don’t give up.”
Participants designed the performance to raise awareness of brain injuries and stroke, show what recovery looks like and reduce stigma and shame.
In a reflection session after the performance, the group wrote a collaborative poem about the programme. You can read an extract below:
We began this journey
At the base of the mountain, looking up.
We stepped forward with Courage and curiosity, Carrying hopes of Shared experience.
Then came the storm.
We were surprised by unexpected experiences, And we found each other in Our shared stories.
Now we stand,
At the top of the mountain, beneath a rainbow
Where anything is possible.
Now we know
Being yourself is good enough. We carry pride between us. Anything is possible when you believe.
ABOVE & BELOW: Brain injury participants at one of the Bush Theatre drama classes.
This project was made possible through Bush Theatre’s Local Partnership Scheme, which partnered with us to deliver this project over six months.
Head of Community at Bush Theatre, Holly Smith, said about the partnership: “It was a privilege to partner with Imperial Health Charity, working with their Stroke and Brain Injury Survivors group.
“The group were so passionate about wanting to share their personal stories and experiences to inspire others to hold on to the hope of recovery and living a fulfilling life, which is such a brave and courageous act.
“We are deeply proud of our partnership with them and hope to continue to work together into the future.”
Our Community Arts Engagement Manager, Eve Annesley, said: “It was a privilege to work alongside Bush Theatre to help this group share their powerful stories of recovery and resilience.”

The project transforming end of life care across our hospitals
Ateamof NHS staff are improving the end of life experience for patients and those close to them thanks to one of our grants.
Colleagues Tori Martin and Dr Katherine Buxton worked with the Helix Centre to capture the stories of 20 people who had experienced a loved one die at one of our hospitals. These conversations identified ten areas of improvement to ensure loved ones feel involved in care, are supported, and that their religious and cultural practices are met.
Using these insights, the team developed a patient
information leaflet addressing common questions and cultural sensitivities around death. They have also introduced the Purple Butterfly Model of Care on ten inpatient wards, providing staff training and resources including comfort packs, cuddly toys and books explaining what is happening for families facing the loss of a loved one.
Each ward also has an End of Life Champion trained to support staff, patients and loved ones navigating the end of life journey.
If you’re a staff member at one of our hospitals, you can access the end-of-life resources via the Intranet.

10 years of raising funds for Dacie Ward
Mike Cawston recently marked the 10-year anniversary of raising funds in the name of his friend Lee Bowers, who sadly passed away from leukaemia in 2015.
Lee was treated in the Dacie Ward at Hammersmith Hospital, and after his passing Mike became a long-standing supporter, raising more than £20,000 over the last 10 years for improvements to this ward.
In 2016, Mike arranged a charity football match with several of Lee’s old football teammates, which raised £8,000, followed by two more matches in 2017 and 2018. In 2019, Mike organised a ‘TfL Tube Challenge’, in which he
and a few friends visited 272 tube stations over the course of a day. They caught their first train in Chesham at 5.16am and finished at Heathrow at 22.30pm, raising an impressive £4,400!
In June, Mike held a special football tournament followed by a disco and auction, to raise more funds for Dacie Ward and to celebrate 10 years of remembering Lee. The tournament had a fantastic turnout with lots of people taking part, and many more who attended to watch the games.
A Lee Bowers Memorial Trophy was given out at the end to ‘The Railway Pub’ team, who won the tournament.
Karen Bradley, the lead nurse in clinical haematology, said: "Mike's kindness has created a lasting impact, empowering us to deliver world-class care, advance scientific discovery, and support each patient’s journey with compassion and excellence.”
A huge thank you Mike and his friends for all that you’ve done over the last 10 years, and to all the others who contributed and supported this heartwarming campaign.
Local artist creates soothing works for Hammersmith ICU
The Quiet Room in Hammersmith Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit is a private space where patients and their loved ones receive often difficult news about treatment and surgical outcomes.
We have been working with London-based artist Millicent Straker to make the space feel less clinical and more soothing through a series of artworks. Using feedback from the ICU team, Millicent designed and created ‘Peace & Tranquillity,’ a bespoke series of prints that act as windows into a world of calm, bringing soothing colours and ambience to the Quiet Room. Millicent draws inspiration from the emotional responses she has to the natural environment,
using observational drawings, notes and photographs to inspire her pieces. Each piece in ‘Peace & Tranquillity’ reflects the beauty of nature, containing cosy lakeside dwellings, open plains and towering mountain ranges, framed by a sunrise, offering the promise of a new day.
Millicent said: "I feel very privileged to be able to support my local hospital in this way, and I hope that the artwork will bring joy to patients and visitors in the ICU."
We want to say a huge thank you to Millicent for her work on this project and to the ICU team for their enthusiasm and support.
The FireFlies cycling tour conquers the Alps for our Blood Fund Dates for your diary
Anintrepid group of 35 cyclists took on an epic journey of more than 1,000km across France to raise money for our Blood Fund.
Over eight days in June, the group – known collectively as The FireFlies – journeyed through the Alps, where they climbed 72,000 feet, the equivalent of summitting Everest six times, and conquered infamous Tour de France climbs such as Col du Grand Colombier and Col d’Izoard.
This year, The FireFlies have raised over £112,000 for The Blood Fund, which will go towards lifesaving research into the causes and treatment of leukaemia and blood cancers.
They said: “Inspired by the courage it takes to fight cancer,
The FireFlies is a celebration of life, love and friendship. Bicycles are involved, but so are tears, laughter, mountains, ice-creams, reggae music and uncommon amounts of joy.
“We ride for those who cannot, it’s tough, but nowhere near as tough as the fight with cancer.”
The FireFlies Tour was established in 2001 by Sandy Watson Scott (then Head of Broadcast at M&C Saatchi). She set it up after meeting Hannah and David Lewis, whose daughter Catherine had died from leukaemia in 1991, aged just 27.
With five cyclists and the backing of RSA Films, Sir Ridley Scott and the late Tony Scott, the first ‘Lions Ride’ was born to raise money for leukaemia research at Hammersmith Hospital, where Catherine had been treated. Since then, the ride has grown, with hundreds of riders from all over the world making the challenging journey across the Alps, raising a total of more than £2.4 million for leukaemia and blood cancer research and treatment.
Congratulations to The FireFlies team for an incredible achievement, and thank you for your ongoing support.
