Driving forward our support for Stars Appeal

Salisbury Reds has turbocharged our support for Stars Appeal by gifting the charity £23,000.

Earlier this year, we named Stars Appeal as our official good cause for 2024 and 2025. We will be spending two years raising funds and awareness to help the charity provide a wide range of services for patients and their families.
 
The Stars Appeal raises money to create the best possible experience for patients and their families by funding extra care and equipment over and above that provided by the NHS.

Our relationship with the charity spans more than 10 years - with many of our team members benefiting directly from the support it provides.

The president of the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, the Earl of Pembroke said: “We are extremely grateful for this incredibly generous donation which will enable the Stars Appeal to do even more to enhance the care for patients across Salisbury District Hospital now and into the future. On behalf of all those who will benefit, we thank Salisbury Reds for their continued support.”

Money raised will go towards the £1million the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, aims to raise this year to fund new equipment, enhancements to buildings, and ongoing projects supporting patients across Salisbury Hospital including the Stars Appeal Wi-Fi, hospital chaplaincy, support for patients with cancer and the Stars Appeal Play Assistant on Sarum Children’s Ward.

Amongst the projects the charity is fundraising for this year are 36 ‘by your side’ sleeper chairs, costing £50,000, so that vulnerable patients and those at the end of their lives can have a loved one stay by their side in comfort.
