A TRUST has funded a new bridge at Thames Hospice, as part of work on its inpatient gardens.
Trustees at Baldwin’s Bridge Trust, which maintains Baldwin’s Bridge in Eton parish, have helped link the garden with the hospice.
Sarah Bissell, director of fundraising and marketing at the hospice, said she was thrilled to welcome trustees to the site on Thursday, September 9, for a tour.
“Having access to nature and natural spaces is important for wellbeing, and is especially important for our patients,” Ms Bissell said.
“Every bedroom in our Inpatient Unit and as well as our Day Therapy Suite has direct access to our gardens and walkways that are wheelchair friendly.
“We were so thrilled to welcome The Baldwin’s Bridge Trustees for their very first tour of the new Hospice and to see first-hand how their legacy to support the residents of the parishes of Eton and Eton Wick.
“As well as maintaining Baldwin’s Bridge in Eton, The Baldwin’s Bridge Trustees have created a connection for them to the Hospice which will now always be there for all to enjoy.”
Bridgemaster Linda Tarbox said she was delighted to visit.
“We all left feeling so pleased we could be a part of it and will be back to visit the café again,” she said.
