A break room used by theatre staff at the Royal Preston Hospital has had its ceiling and ceiling lighting re-fitted in a make-over designed to make the space a more relaxing and calming environment.
The work, which should have cost more than £2,000, was undertaken for free as a gift to Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Charity by construction and engineering company Tilbury Douglas through its sub-contractor Network Partitions & Ceilings Ltd.
Rebecca Arestidou, who is the charity team’s trust, grant, fundraising impact & project officer, explained: “Although only a relatively small upgrade, the new ceiling and ceiling lighting have made a really big difference to the room’s ambience. It feels completely different – a much warmer, inviting place to take time out from an incredibly stressful job.
“We are very grateful to Tilbury Douglas and Network Partitions & Ceilings Ltd for gifting their time, talent and materials to do this for us. The feedback we’ve already had from theatre staff has been so positive.”
