We need your help to create a brand new staff room and outdoor rest area for the 300 staff who work in the Emergency Department at East Surrey Hospital.

The department operates 24 hours a day, every day. Dealing with life threatening emergencies faced by people in Surrey and Sussex. In a typical day, up to 100 blue light emergency ambulances arrive, alongside people arriving with loved ones or walking in having experienced a medical emergency.

The current staff room is dated, with very worn facilities. There's no access to outdoor space for fresh air despite being next to a courtyard, and changing facilities, storage, and comfortable seating/rest spaces are minimal.

Your donations will help us transform the staff room for those people who save lives in the ED every single day and night. You will help us remove old, tired furnishings and an old kitchen, and to provide brand new custom fitted furnishings, a new kitchen area, a new changing cubicle for staff to change, and new décor throughout, creating a much nicer environment for staff working in this incredibly demanding environment.

Alongside this, a new doorway will be created, providing access to a (currently inaccessible) courtyard, so the team are able to step outside into some fresh air. 

The new staff room and courtyard space will make a huge difference for the people who are there for us when we most need it. 

Once the staff room and outdoor space are completed - any money remaining in the fund will help to support other charitable activities for patients and staff across SASH NHS Trust. 

Huge thanks for supporting front line NHS workers who could one day save our lives.
