The Scope and Scale of Rotary Volunteering

A recent study found that Rotary volunteers contribute
an estimated 47 million hours each year

That's almost 27,000 full-time paid workers, equivalent
to about £650 million in avoided costs, every year!

SUPPORTING OUR NHS

Haddenham Rotary install personal TV system to help improve patient welfare

STOKE MANDEVILLE HOSPITAL Renal Unit

The 12 bed renal dialysis unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital shared 5 televisions
and the choice of a channel to watch was something of a lottery

Now, every bed has it's own TV and DVD machine, remote control and headphones
so each patient can please themselves about what to watch

"On behalf of all the staff, children and parents I want to thank you
so much for the brand new televisions which have been installed
in the PDU, and for the Kindles too

The difference it makes to a frightened young child is incredible
and makes their stay with us a little easier. I spent half an hour
with a little 6 year old last week playing on the Kindle before his MRI scan
he was calm and relaxed which is exactly how we needed him to be

We are all so grateful for your kindness and generosity"
Sarah – PDU Play Leader
