Football tournament
A group of six teams from our Acute Rehabilitation Directorate (ARD) competed in a very enthusiastic football tournament.
The entry fees for the competition were donated to the Health Way Foundation. The winning team (Havering Home Treatment Team) will now be in discussions with the charity in ways best to ensure that these funds go towards the team in the most suitable way possible.
Sponsored walk - Seven Sisters
The team at Kent and Medway Adolescent Hospital have planned to undertake the 13 mile hike from Seaford to Eastbourne across the Seven Sister Cliffs on 11 November 2023.
The funding will go towards developing a fenced off space at the unit into a sustainable area for young people to have outdoor access to green spaces. This area will allow for both sensory and horticultural therapy to support the young people while they are on the unit.
