Our healing garden has been life changing for our Critical care patients.

Early rehabilitation in critical illness has shown to be incredibly important. Inside a Critical Care Unit, patients can lose all sense of time and place as day blends into night and they stare at the same four walls for weeks on end. Our garden is a place for healing and rehabilitation, not only physical but for the mental and emotional self too.

There is no truer saying than the Healing power of nature and no more so than in Cornwall where our patients are used to the outdoor life and being surrounded by this beauty daily.

Having fundraised to build the garden, we are now looking to fundraise further to purchase Christmas lights and decorations for our garden. For the month of December we hope to illuminate the garden with Christmas lights and hold Christmas Carol Concerts for our patients and their families. This will make a real difference to the patients and their families who find themselves spending time on the Critical Care Unit in the lead up to Christmas.
