Registered Charity No: 1165788 (England & Wales).
Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW) is a leading provider of mental health and disability services, providing a range of specialist care across the North East and Cumbria. Patients receiving care in our services are often going through one of the most difficult times in their life and CNTW Charity aims to make this time a little more comfortable by providing the ‘extras’ that wouldn’t be possible from government funding alone.
Through its SHINE fund, the charity provides therapeutic activities and items of comfort that can make a big difference to patients and their carers. Donations to SHINE have provided patients with sensory equipment, improved garden spaces, sports facilities, seasonal activities and more. These items and activities can make a huge impact on a patient’s experience, comfort and self-confidence.
“You can give someone a glimmer of hope… you can say to people ‘life does continue, and things can be good’ and that’s what SHINE enables us to do”, says Debbie, Activities Facilitator at Walkergate Park – Centre for Neurorehabilitation and Neuropsychiatry.
By leaving a gift in your will, you can help our services go further for patients and carers – today, tomorrow and for years to come. Every donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated and can make a lasting impact.
