As President of the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us during 2025.
Over the last year, tens of thousands of local people have benefitted from projects funded by the Stars Appeal at our Hospital. From specialist equipment such as a new lung function machine helping over 2,000 respiratory patients, additional services including our parent accommodation on the Special Care Baby Unit, and newly expanded keyhole surgery capability, your kindness continues to make an extraordinary difference.
We’ve provided those undergoing cancer treatment with a range of support, such as free sessions with our dedicated Stars Appeal Aromatherapist. Patients can have someone close stay by their side when it matters most thanks to specialist sleeper chairs. And children being cared for on the Children’s Ward are benefitting from a dedicated play assistant and advanced therapy equipment.
This is in addition to the charity’s ongoing work, including Stars Appeal Wi-Fi, live music and arts, and hospital chaplaincy. I encourage you to read our latest Impact Update where you can see more examples of what your support is enabling us to achieve for our Hospital.
All of our work is only possible thanks to the generosity of those who donate, fundraise, and remember the Stars Appeal in their Wills. Your ongoing support remains at the heart of everything the Stars Appeal is able to achieve.
Thank you for your continued kindness, and I send you my warmest wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
The Earl of Pembroke
President of the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity
