Brighterway Charity and SHFT attended all three days of The New Forest Show 2024 – Tuesday 30th July, Wednesday 31st July and Thursday 1st August. This event is one of the most popular events in the area filled with livestock competitions, equestrian events, flower and garden show, fun forest activities, local food and drink stalls, craft vendors, educational exhibits, and entertaining performances. It is a great family day out and a celebration of
Summer.
Through these scorching hot days, we talked and listened to many of you and enjoyed seeing you take part in our activities! On our Brighterway stand we had colleagues from different areas in the Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust –
· Carers and Patients Support Hub who shared information about the hub and how they support.
· Friends of Lymington Hospital who shared information about what projects they have completed and future opportunities. Brighterway are currently working closely with Friends of Lymington on the Wellbeing Trail Walk at the hospital. This trail is an opportunity for patients and staff to walk around, take a minute to themselves and breathe in the fresh air.
· LEAD Training who conducted the CPR Challenge and taught visitors how to correctly perform CPR.
· First Light Trust for Veterans who assisted Brighterway on the plant stand.
Thank you to everyone who contributed towards Brighterway.
This will assist us to complete more projects which will enhance patients’ and
staff experience. The funds we raised were 25% higher than 2 years ago when we
last attended the show. It was lovely to see the whole community come together
for this event.
