In June 2023 the Friends and CW Plus jointly funded the refurbishment of the Relatives’ Room on Osterley 1 and 2 Wards at West Middlesex, which had been badly in need of a makeover. The charities provided new furniture and artwork, as well as a new coat of paint, to make the room a more comfortable and pleasant place for relatives to spend time in. This is particularly important as relatives may be receiving complex or distressing information about their loved one . The Friends and CW Plus also funded a ‘Tree of Gratitude’ mural which will allow patients and visitors to leave compliments for staff as recognition for their support.
Some ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of the Relatives’ Room and mural are below.
