A major project has been
the provision of the
Take Heart Roof Garden

Take Heart funded the creation of this garden on top of the Jubilee Building at LGI. The garden's proximity to the heart wards makes it a haven to be enjoyed by patients, relatives and staff - a welcome break from the confines of the wards with lovely views over the city

Ward 11

Take Heart funded the overbed illuminated pictures, two new electric beds and the Patient Waiting area. Equipment for the Cath Labs has also been funded.

Patientline TV

In the Yorkshire Heart Centre at Leeds General Infirmary and St. James Hospital where Patientline bedside television and telephone are installed, channels BBC1, ITV1, BBC2, CH4 and CH5 are provided free of charge courtesy of Take Heart.

Wards 5 and 7 in LGI

We have funded the refurbishment of both relatives rooms and the fitting of a new shower room. Bedheads, chairs and two specialist mattresses have also been provided for the wards together with refurbishment of the staff rooms in wards 5 and 7.

Relatives Suite

This Relatives Suite with lounge and bedroom has been provided where relatives can stay free of charge when they need to be near loved ones at a critical time

44 electric beds have now been installed by Take Heart in the cardiac wards of the Yorkshire Heart Centre following the transfer of all cardiology from St James's Hospital to LGI.

The Zen Garden at LGI

Take Heart funded the provision of the Zen Garden, based on a terraced garden as used by the Buddhist monks around their temples. This gives a much better outlook for patients in what was a drab, concrete courtyard.

These are just a few of the many projects funded by Take Heart. Our work is never ending and the trustees will continue to ensure that money raised will be used to fund suitable projects that meet patient’s needs.
