Our marvellous makeover

The directors and staff of Napp Pharmaceuticals based on the Science Park have been generous supporters of our charity for many years. A group of staff from the Engineering Department contacted us at the end of 2007 and volunteered their services for a decorating project of our choice. It was agreed that they would take on the rather large challenge of decorating the two In-Patient corridors and the area around the Nurses’ Station.

The Project was divided into three separate sessions and a very comprehensive survey of exactly what was required was carried out. Behind the scenes the Napp Engineering staff were busy fundraising to fund the project and have now raised over £3,500. This has meant that in addition to the redecoration they have been able to replace two old, unsightly radiators in the corridors and all the double glazed units that were in need of repair.

Seventeen members of the Department were involved in the physical work and many more working on our behalf behind the scenes. The corridors have now been transformed, looking bright, clean and airy – this change is of great benefit to our patients, their relatives, visitors, staff and volunteers.

The teams hung our new collection of beautiful flower prints, kindly donated by Sue Reavley of Chaffield Shaw Photography and our ‘new look’ has been completed with a new Reception Desk for Ward Clerk Jenny Read. We are very grateful to everyone at Napp Pharmaceuticals for making this project possible. In addition we must thank Chris Trigg Double Glazing and R M Satt & Son Ltd for their generosity.
