Leicester Hospitals Forget-Me-Not Appeal
Jun 2nd, 2010 • Category: Video and Slideshows
This appeal video has been put together for Leicester Hospitals Charity for the Lord Mayor’s Forget-Me-Not Appeal. Over the course of a day we interviewed a number of carers on the ward as well as ward staff, doctors and nurses. Working with a photographer we then put together this short film. Our approach is always centred on strong, emotive storytelling. We believe that this is the most effective way of informing and educating the public about the Hospital’s needs.
The Forget-Me-Not Appeal is raising funds to create a national centre of excellence for dementia care here in Leicester Hospitals.
It will provide:
- A specially designed ward that caters for the particular needs of patients with dementia
- A secure and pleasant sensory garden to encourage patients to move freely outdoors whilst still being cared for and properly supervised
- Enhanced training and awareness of dementia for all staff in our hospitals
- Information for families, carers and care home managers to better support people living with dementia in Leicester
The Charity now needs to raise £100,000 to create a new Centre of Excellence for Dementia patients in Leicester Hosptials. To donate, please visit justgiving.co.uk/forget-me-not-appeal
