Derby Hospitals Choir Helps Happiness!

Staff demonstrate the system to choir members

Earlier this year we donated £3000 to “The Happiness Project” at The King’s Lodge neurological rehabilitation unit.  The Happiness Project uses an interactive projection system to help cognitive behavioural recovery, encouraging coordination, mental and physical exercise and social activity in a fun way – making recovery a more positive and enjoyable experience.  The photograph shows Allanah and Jen demonstrating one of the many activities – a leaf-sweeping game – to three of our members, Joy, Kath & David, watched by Jill Matthews, Chief Officer of Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity.  Jill said “The money raised by the choir  for this unit is helping both speed patient’s recovery and improve their well-being. Donations of all kinds help to make a difference to the care we can provide.”  (Photograph courtesy of Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity.)
