Enhancing the quality of life for residents of St. John’s Community Hospital, Sligo
The St John’s Community Hospital Patient Comfort Fund was set up to allow people to make donations and contributions towards outings, activities or comfort items that will enhance the quality of life for residents in our care.
Unfortunately, in recent years and due to the Covid pandemic, outings for our residents were greatly impacted. However, with your kind help, our team of volunteers can once again safely take our residents out and about for some fun and enjoyment.
All donations, no matter how small, will be very gratefully received.
Thank you !
How your donations are spent…
In recent years, the Comfort Fund had a major fundraising drive towards the purchase of a wheelchair-accessible minibus. This minibus has been a great addition to the hospital, allowing staff to bring residents on trips near and far.
Typically, these are spins to Mullaghmore, Strandhill and a special one to the Showgrounds to watch Sligo Rovers!
Funds raised are also used to purchase teas, coffees, cakes and ice-creams on these trips.
How it works
1
Outings
The outings we organise include trips to the cinema, concerts, music events in local hotels, outings to Sligo Rovers and Sligo GAA matches and Sligo Races to name a few!
2
Activities
We also plan activities within the hospital such as movie nights where staff order in a takeaway of choice for residents
3
Entertainment
We often book musicians and singers to come in at weekends or on special occasions to provide entertainment in the beautiful Garden Room within the hospital.
