Story

What is Buttercup Day?

The buttercup has been a symbol of hope and recovery for nearly 100 years at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, North London. After such a challenging year, we hope that people will find that same encouragement in the simple, yet bright image of a very common flower that has come to represent the RNOH.

In the 1930s young children, undergoing treatment at the hospital could be seen picking large yellow bunches of the flowers, benefitting from the sunshine and fresh air, brightening the wards they took them back onto. Every year the RNOH Charity hosts a Buttercup Day, both to raise awareness and raise crucial funds for the pioneering work that takes place at the RNOH.

The work of RNOH Charity

The RNOH Charity strengthens and supports the people, research and infrastructure that make the RNOH one of the world's best orthopaedic hospitals.

Thanks to the charity's generous donors, the RNOH Charity has met the needs of the hospital where NHS funding has its limits; including funding the expansion of the Spinal Cord Injury Centre, the hospital's first state-of-the-art SPECT-CT scanner, the hospitals volunteer and buggy service and key research projects.

Ensuring we continue to provide world leading support is a key priority.
