The Myton Hospices receives major upgrade thanks to Nationwide

Nationwide Windows and Doors (NWD) has completed a significant refurbishment project at The Myton Hospices’ Warwick Inpatient Unit, donating new windows and doors to enhance comfort, energy efficiency and the overall environment for patients and their families.

The work involved supplying and installing energy-efficient windows and doors across 14 inpatient rooms and additional areas within the unit, delivered as a full gift in kind. The total value of the donation is approximately £40,000, a contribution that relieves financial pressure on the hospice and frees up funds to be used directly for patient care and support services.

“As a business rooted in the local area, it was important to us to find a way to help that made a real, practical difference,” said John Whalley, Managing Director of Nationwide.

“The Myton Hospices do incredible work for patients and families across Coventry and Warwickshire, and we hope this contribution will help create a more comfortable environment now and for years to come.”

Working within an active hospice required careful planning from Nationwide’s installation teams, with work carried out sensitively and with minimal disruption. The new installations will improve energy efficiency and help create a more comfortable environment for patients and visitors alike.

The donation comes at a time when The Myton Hospices – like many charities – are balancing rising demand with tightening funding. Only 17% of Myton’s annual income comes from the NHS, with the remaining £12.7m needed raised through voluntary donations and community fundraising.

This means that contributions such as Nationwide’s play a vital role in the hospice’s ability to deliver services free of charge to patients and their families.

Martin Watts, Corporate Fundraiser at The Myton Hospices, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Nationwide for such a generous gift in kind. This donation not only enhances the comfort of our inpatient rooms, it also means that care funding can go directly towards patient support services, making a lasting difference to the people and families we care for.”

John added: “Our team takes pride in the work we do every day, but projects like this carry extra meaning. Knowing our work will help create a better environment for patients and families is something everyone involved feels proud of.”
