Tuesday 31st January 2023
From today, Tuesday 31st January 2023, the car park at Warminster Hospital, on the opposite side of the Avenue, is no longer free parking for 3 hours. Registration of cars by drivers will need to take place at the reception desk in the Hospital when the driver or his/her passenger is attending hospital appointments – you will then be given a pass for using the car park.

From the Friends Of Warminster Hospital website:
The first half of 2020 has been putting enormous strain on the whole NHS including the staff at Warminster Hospital. On 10 April 2020 the Friends of Warminster Hospital decided to supply baked goodies as morale boosters for the staff at the hospital. So far we have provided these cakes for 10 weeks – 30 cakes in total! The cakes are made fresh by Tony and Ben at Taste Deli and a volunteer from FOWH takes them straight to the hospital every week. Just a small way to say thank you for everything our local hospital staff do for the people of Warminster.

From the Friends Of Warminster Hospital website:
Friends of Warminster Hospital (FOWH) had decided to allocate funds to help in the Covid-19 crisis and, as a first step, following an initiative by Warminster Action Group, helped assemble and deliver Wellness Bags on Good Friday for all the Warminster Hospital nurses and staff. The FOWH allocated £600 to this brilliant idea and Friends committee member, Lisa Crow, rang around shops to get goodies for the bags. What is in a Wellness Bag I hear you ask? Mainly chocolate seems to be the answer but we also added nice soaps, hand and face creams, shower gels, socks, cakes, flowers, seeds …… and more chocolate!
The aim was to buy from local businesses and keep the money in the community. However, it was hard to spend the money as everyone wanted to donate or gift items at cost to show their support for ‘our hospital staff’!
On Good Friday at 2 pm, the shift change time, the bags were delivered. Everyone at the hospital was delighted and touched to be recognised for their service by the community they serve. The pictures speak for themselves. Friends of Warminster Hospital want to thank Warminster Action Group for the idea of the bags and the community for making them happen. The biggest thanks of all go to the wonderful staff at Warminster’s very own hospital.
The Friends of Warminster Hospital will continue to provide cakes and goodies to Warminster Hospital, with the support of Taste Deli and Farleigh Road Farm Shop, for the foreseeable future.
We would especially like to thank: Angie Bell of Fit Belle PT, Asda (Frome), Coates and Parker, David McGirr of The Old Fire Station, Donna Pease, Farleigh Road Farm Shop (Norton St Philip), Julie Cray, Lakeside Garden Centre, Lynn Cooke, Poundland (Warminster), Sheila Pomeroy, Slim, Trim and Beautiful, Taste Deli (Tony & Ben), Victoria Holton, Waitrose in Warminster, plus many more donations from the kind and generous residents of Warminster.

Three members of staff at Warminster Hospital, namely Sarah Hill (Physio), Anne-Marie Nuth-Harrison (Longleat Ward) and Sue Westlake (also Longleat Ward), who collectively call themselves ‘The Longleat Ladies’, are to cycle from London to Paris, in July 2016, to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Trust. Their target is £4,500. They have already raised £1,176.83.
They are looking for sponsors via their Virgin Money Giving page:

They write:
“The challenge is over four days and approx 300 miles. We will cycle a large distance on the first day from London to Dover. We then pedal through Northern France before arriving in Paris on the Saturday before the final stage of the Tour de France.
Day 1 London to Calais 95 miles
Day 2 Calais to Abbevile 75 miles
Day 3 Abbeville to Beauville 70 miles
Day 4 Beauvais to Paris 60 miles.
We are motivated to take on this challenge of a lifetime as we have all had the privilege of caring for MS patients, but also for more personal reasons. Sue’s sister has MS.
None of us know what the future holds so we are seizing the day to achieve this personal goal, and to also help make life better for those living with the condition.
The MS Trust is a small UK based Charity dedicated to helping all those affected by MS, including education and support for health professionals like us. Please visit the website to learn more about the trust:

We have many events planned to help us fundraise and we are thinking big, but we do need a little help from our friends.
Thank you for your support,
Anne-Marie, Sue & Sarah.”
