Any money donated is used to purchase equipment or services that will enhance our patients lives but the NHS are unable to provide. Below gives some examples of larger projects we have funded.
Bungalows
Some 20 Years ago New Start financed the building of 4 Bungalows in the Grounds of the Hospital for the use of Recipients and their Families. We then paid for a complete refurbishment of them in 2015. They are in great demand and are greatly appreciated by everyone who uses them.
Transplant Unit Refurbishment
In 2019/2020 the Charity funded a much needed refurbishment of the Transplant Out Patients Department at a cost of £970k. The waiting room has been transformed into a bright airy space with modern seating. An extra clinic room has been created to house our LVAD patients which have increased in the past few Years. There is also a new waiting area for patients waiting for Biopsies so they aren’t sat on the Corridor.
