A Blooming Wonderful Achievement! 🌿

We’re delighted to share that for the second year running, our gardens have been awarded ‘Outstanding’ – the highest level of recognition – by RHS North West in Bloom! 👏

This award reflects the care, creativity and dedication that goes into making our gardens such a special space for patients, families and visitors. A huge thank you to Louise, Roy and our brilliant volunteer gardening team, whose passion and hard work ensure our gardens flourish in every season. 🌸

They attended the presentation ceremony last week, joining many inspirational community gardening groups from across the region – a wonderful celebration of how gardens bring joy, connection and wellbeing to so many. 🌼

“Dad will be watching down at Light Up a Life - I am so proud”

As she switches on the lights at our Light Up a Life service on Sunday 7th December, Carly Tierney (pictured on the right, with her dad and younger sister) says someone special will be “beaming”.

Carly’s father, Mark, was just 49 when he died on our Inpatient Unit in December 2023.

The beloved grandfather was described as “kind, generous and cheeky” by Carly, who brought her young children to visit.

To honour her late father, Carly will be switching on the lights of our tree. Each of the lights represents someone that has been loved and lost.

Carly said: “I can’t thank Dr Kershaw’s and its staff enough, and I couldn’t have wished for a better place for my dad. The support, care and love every single staff member gave to my little sister and I was outstanding. Nothing was ever too much, whether it was needing a cuddle or someone to speak to or sit with.

“I am so happy and proud to be a part of Light Up a Life, as I know my dad will also be beaming and watching down on the night.”

To make your dedication visit: www.drkh.org.uk/LightUpaLife or call 0161 624 9984.
