Colleagues within Bassetlaw Hospital’s A4 Ward will be celebrating the reopening of their garden with a special tea party to mark the Platinum Jubilee on Monday, June 6, at 1.30pm.

A4, a ward which specialises in elderly care and general medicine, routinely hosts garden parties and other events for patients staying within the service, often marking occasions throughout the year with a bit of rest and relaxation safely away from the ward.

The team have worked closely with the Bassetlaw League of Friends, a charity which supports and fundraises on behalf of the Worksop hospital, amongst other well-wishers to completely revitalise the outdoor area, adding a sheltered section of the garden and artificial grass for picnicking.

Dawn Clare, activities coordinator on Ward A4, said: “The support we have received in regards to our little project has been nothing short of amazing.

"This garden area gets a lot of use and we often allow patients to use it as a place to sit, get a little bit of sunshine weather permitting, as well as get involved in activities in the summer months.

“Together as a ward, we set ourselves the task of sprucing up the area, calling in support from the League of Friends, as well as other local well-wishers – the finished product is outstanding, and we can’t wait to host our Jubilee tea part at the end of May for patients and colleagues.”

Attendees will be treated to non-alcoholic Pimms, strawberries and cream and other bits and pieces to tickle the fancy of those celebrating.

There will also be a special performance by Andre ‘the Singing Porter’, a much-loved and talented member of the team.

Dawn added: “We have to say thank you to all those that made this garden possible.
