  • About
Challenge yourself to take 10,000 steps every day for one month. Every step and penny will go towards additional items to enhance the care in the BEACH Building at Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Together we can transform care for Dorset. These items include an additional CT scanner to help scan an extra 15,000 patients a year, indoor and outdoor play areas, a classroom for children and a wellbeing garden to bring fresh air to people in critical care. Ultimately, we can further enhance the hospital experience for patients, our NHS staff and every visitor that comes through our doors. As part of The BEACH Appeal, UHD Charity is calling everybody across Dorset to get involved in raising £1.5 million for future facilities in the new departments for Births, Emergency, Critical Care and Children’s Health. We cannot raise funds for additional items that are above and beyond what the NHS covers alone. Our NHS colleagues, from our dedicated porters to our phenomenal nurses—walk an average of 10,000 steps each shift to care for their patients. Sign up now to challenge yourself to match their average daily steps for one month!
