Seeds of Support Donor Wall for Malton Hospital

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust’s charity, Health Stars, is inviting members of the local community to help transform lives at Malton Community Hospital through a beautiful new initiative: the ‘Seeds of Support’ Donor Wall.

This inspiring campaign is part of the Better Days Appeal, aiming to fund the creation of a new dementia-friendly day room on Fitzwilliam Ward. The day room will provide a dedicated space for patients, visitors and staff to relax, connect and engage in therapeutic activities. Health Stars aim to provide the extras that make a real difference.

At the heart of this appeal is a specially designed, flower-themed donor wall that will bloom with the names of the loved one of the generous supporters. Donations start at just £25 and each donor will also receive a thank you card and commemorative seeds to grow their own flowers at home.

Fiona, a Ward Clerk on Fitzwilliam Ward for over 20 years, shared her story which underscores the personal and community impact of this project, “My mum had Alzheimer’s and was once a patient here, so this appeal means a lot to me personally.”

“This room will give patients a chance to move away from the bedside and take part in activities. It will help people focus and feel more like themselves,” says Fiona.

Donation packages - Seed, Bud, and Bloom - offer supporters a meaningful way to contribute and become a lasting part of the ward’s story. Each tier provides a unique opportunity to get involved and make a difference:
