The Story behind our Anniversary Film

Every year, Hearts Together supports over 8,000 families navigating some of the most difficult periods of their lives. Our guests tell us in thank-you notes, in conversations over breakfast, in messages years later, about the difference we make. To mark our 25th anniversary, we wanted to find a way to share that with the world.
Maggie Marks 15 Years with Hearts Together

We are delighted to celebrate Maggie's 15 years at Hearts Together! Her compassion, dedication, and commitment to supporting families have made her a treasured member of our team and a familiar, comforting face to so many of our guests.
The Pinney family & Their Story!

I had seriously underestimated how tiring it is not being the patient! So it was such a blessing that we could walk between the hotel and the hospital in no time, particularly when we had some late nights during the early stages of Mum's recovery.
25 Years of Hearts Together!

We celebrated Hearts Together’s 25th anniversary this month with a party at our Hospital Hotel, highlighted by fundraiser Ricky Callow completing a 37-mile challenge. The day honoured our founder, Monica Pearce, celebrated the support we provide to families facing medical treatment, and marked the launch of our new Sponsor a Counsellor campaign to expand emotional support services for guests.

Our plans to expand

Our big build project sees Hearts Together set to expand from 26 bedrooms to 73 over two build phases, an ambitious but very necessary challenge that we intend to meet head on, as we look to accommodate the ever-growing needs of patients, carers, relatives, our local community, healthcare professionals and trainees.
