Your donations will help us to continue this service
Over 7,000 patients each year are supported by the volunteer outdoor buggies across UHN. Help us help even more people by donating to Northamptonshire Health Charity today.
From getting between departments to taking a short outdoor trip to visit an inpatient relative, these buggies provide dignity, reassurance, and independence at a time when it is most needed.
How your donations help:
- People feel more confident attending their appointments
- Family and friends can visit loved ones without the worry of distance or fatigue
- Anxiety around navigating busy hospital sites is reduced.
- Volunteers can provide personalised, compassionate support
- The service positively impacts attendance and helps reduce did‑not‑attend (DNA) rates
This appeal will help ensure that patients and visitors can continue to access support when moving around busy hospital sites. For many people, particularly those with reduced mobility, long distances between departments can feel overwhelming. The outdoor buggy service offers a simple, reassuring solution, helping people arrive at appointments on time and with greater ease.
