Physiotherapist Jen Ritchie and her husband Matt have gone the extra mile for our Room to Recover Appeal, raising an amazing £800 by taking on the Great South Run!
Jen, Team Lead Physiotherapist at St Peter's Hospital, joined thousands of other runners in Portsmouth to complete the challenging 10-mile route, with Matt alongside her every step of the way.
Their fantastic fundraising achievement will help us transform the Phoenix Room at St Peter's Hospital, creating a larger, more welcoming rehabilitation and social space away from the ward for our stroke patients.
Our Room to Recover Appeal aims to raise £25,000 to create bright, inviting and relaxing designated spaces for patients, relatives and staff.
We want to create an environment where recovery is given the best possible start - a place to rebuild, regain and recover.


Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support have opened the doors to a newly built Cancer Support Centre at Ashford Hospital, Surrey. This purpose-built facility will provide a non-clinical space for cancer patients and their loved ones, where they can get support and advice throughout their cancer journey, closer to home.
Black History Month gives us an opportunity to celebrate the rich contributions that Black colleagues make to our Trust and to our patients every day. It also encourages us to reflect on how we can continue to foster a culture of inclusion, belonging and respect for all.
This week, we celebrate with Dr Benedicta Agbagwara-Osuji, Director of Midwifery who was invited to celebrate Black History Month at 10 Downing Street.
‘I was honoured to be invited to 10 Downing Street on 12 October 2026 for a reception hosted by the Prime Minister to celebrate Black History Month. The evening celebrated Black excellence and achievement, recognising the lasting contribution of Black communities, including the Windrush generation, to the NHS and wider public services. The Prime Minister highlighted the importance of people feeling they belong and knowing their contributions are valued."
