Kent Community Hospitals in clothes appeal
16/03/2018
Our local community hospitals are asking for donations of new clothes to help patients get better quicker.
Research shows that patients in hospital, who get up and get dressed every day, recover faster. BUT not all patients arrive in hospital in clean clothes and many don’t have relatives nearby who can bring them in
That’s why Kent Community Hospitals are asking for donations of new clothes to help their patients to get up and get dressed. They are looking for tracksuit bottoms, trousers, t-shirts, shirts, jumpers, slippers with grip, underwear and woolly hats.
Community hospitals accepting clothes are Deal, Whitstable and Tankerton; Herne Bay; Faversham; Sevenoaks; Tonbridge; Edenbridge and Hawkhurst.
