We have provided a great variety of items for the Hospital in addition to the  major items below – Intensive care beds, life-saving monitors for A & E, occupational health equipment, defibrillators, patient monitors, eye-laser equipment, portering chairs, ‘emergency’ packs for those who come into hospital unexpectedly, – the list goes on and on! We have raised over £3 million since the hospital opened in 1985. 

 But our achievements can be measured not solely in material terms, but also by the warmth with which our volunteers welcome patients, visitors and staff who use our coffee shop, flower shop and ancillary services. Our aim is to make a stay in hospital as stress-free as possible for patients and their relatives. If we can help, we will!

In 2009 League Of Friends Volunteers constructed a Childrens Memorial Garden as a place of quiet reflection.

Following a complete make over the Memorial Garden was rededicated on 4th September 2009 by the Bishop of Worcester, the Right Reverent Dr. John Inge, assisted by the hospital chaplain, the Reverend Andrew Fisher. The focal point of the garden, a square divided into sections for each month of the year, was rejuvenated thanks to S E Davis of Astwood Bank who donated all the stones for each section. Plaques denoting which month each section represented were supplied by Thomas Bros. of Redditch. A new seat was donated by Hilliers garden centre and two plants by Arkle Plants who wish to donate further plants in the form of two for each season of the year. Cash donations were also received from the League of Friends, Patient Services, Emanuel Church Craft Centre and Mrs Susan Fisher.
 
However, a very big thank you must go to Gladys Waring, her husband Roy, daughter Sarah and granddaughter Amy whose hard work brought everything together and restored the garden to its former beauty
