Caring for our 4,500 colleagues – launch of the £2m Health and Wellbeing Hub
The first-of-its kind proposed ‘Health and Wellbeing Hub’ will be a purpose-built facility to ‘care for carers’ - those people working around the clock at the Trust, who provide care to our communities and families.
Opening in spring 2023, the appeal is for all local people, groups, teams, and businesses to think how they are able to contribute, fundraise and back this ambitious and exciting project which will provide health and wellbeing support for our Chesterfield Royal Hospital colleagues.
Donations can be made through the Trust website or Chesterfield Royal Hospital Charity - JustGiving.
