Rotherham charity enhances end-of-life care with Purple Butterfly Room upgrades at Rotherham Hospital

Thanks to the public’s donations to Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity’s Purple Butterfly In-Memory Giving Fund, the charity has recently been able to enhance and maintain the four beautiful Purple Butterfly end-of-life rooms at Rotherham Hospital.

Kind donations made by Rotherham residents are ensuring that families can spend precious moments together in a comfortable, peaceful space during difficult times.

As these rooms are always in use, everyday items naturally become worn over time. Donations to the Purple Butterfly In-Memory Giving Fund allows the charity to keep the rooms in top condition for families when they need it most.

Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity are proud to have funded brand new enhancements in the end-of-life rooms, including:

• Smart TVs for entertainment and comfort
• Microwaves and lamps for convenience
• Sofa beds and day beds to allow families to stay close to their loved ones
• Kitchen essentials – plates, mugs, cutlery
• Plants to create a calming atmosphere
• Games and radios for cherished moments together
• Sensory night light projectors and bubble tubes for relaxation
• Diffusers to bring calm

Rotherham Hospital and Community charity are here to make sure that the care you and your loved ones receive is the best it can be.
