Their goal is to raise £3,000 to purchase specialist patient weighing scales, equipment that plays a vital role in improving comfort, dignity, and safety in care. These scales not only support accurate clinical assessments but also ensure patients are handled with greater respect and ease during what can often be challenging procedures.

The team’s motivation stems from their daily experience on the ward, where they see first-hand the difference that the right equipment can make.

“We are going the extra mile for our patients,” the team said. “This challenge reflects the commitment we have to improving patient experience and ensuring the highest standards of care.”

Community support will be crucial in helping the team reach their fundraising target. Donations will go directly towards purchasing the equipment, making an immediate and meaningful impact on patient care within the unit.

The ASU team is encouraging individuals, local businesses, and community groups to get behind the challenge and support their efforts.
