There are many amazing charities operating in this area, which do great work helping people who are vulnerable or in need of some assistance. One that has come to my attention is the Bay Hospitals Charity, which holds and manages charitable funds given to University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. It relies on public support to help improve hospital environments, purchase the very latest in state-of-the-art equipment and provide extra care over and above that which can be currently provided by the NHS. Thanks to its supporters, the charity is able to create the best possible experience for patients and their families, and donations to the charity help make a difference to local people, including patients with cancer, those living with dementia, those who have suffered a stroke or new-born babies who may need extra support.
John Hudson, of Barrow, died aged 61 after suffering a heart attack in his sleep. The Blake Street resident leaves behind his two sons, Jake and Zach, who described him as a ‘gentle giant’. The former shipyard worker worked at Furness General Hospital in the car parks for more than 18 years. His family and colleagues want to cement his legacy by placing a bench in his name on the grounds of the hospital so ‘a part of him is still there’. Heather Hudson, John’s former partner and a close friend, started a JustGiving page in collaboration with Bay Hospitals Charity to raise money for the bench.

WEBCAMS have been helping staff teams at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust to stay connected while working from home during the Covid-19 pandemic. Bay Hospitals Charity has used funding from NHS Charities Together for a number of initiatives to promote staff welfare, including funding webcams for the Patient Relations Team at Westmorland General Hospital. Cash for the project included the millions raised by Captain Sir Tom Moore in the run-up to his 100th birthday. Patient Relations Manager Janet Garnett said: “Due to Covid the team has been mainly working at home or alone in the office since March 2020. When Bay Hospitals Charity offered free webcams, we gratefully accepted.
