Lovingly Made is incredibly proud to support Hurstwood Park League of Friends.  I was very lucky to be nursed and looked after by the wonderful team at this fantastic hospital.  I will never be able to thank them enough for all their care and dedication for getting me better.  We, John and I and Lovingly Made,  support the hospital each year by giving a cheque to them at Christmas for the Hurstwood Park Neurological Hospital League of Friends.

HURSTWOOD PARK NEUROLOGICAL HOSPITAL 

"HURSTWOOD PARK moved to Haywards Heath in 1941 when it was evacuated during the Second World War from the National Hospital of Neurology, Queens Square, London.  It has now become one of the Leading Centres of Brain Treatment in the country, and is now the only Operating Hospital in the whole of South East England, the nearest being The General, Southampton, there is not another Neuro hospital due East from Haywards Heath, as the three Centres in Kent were closed in 1995 by the then Secretary of State for Health.

There was a great fear of Hurstwood Park being closed and moved to The Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.  A few of us launched a petition, backed by the Brighton Argus newspaper “Save our Surgery” SoS campaign, which was of course was successful and we are now going from strength to strength, in fact the whole of Hurstwood Park has received a massive facelift costing £2,250,000, and the grounds now have beautiful gardens for the benefit of Patients and Relatives alike to enjoy, all Sponsored by The League of Friends, through kind public Donations."

The most equisite floristry courses for everybody in the most tranquil of surroundings, taught by the most professional teacher...just take a peak at Georgia's website!  I was incredibly lucky to have had the best floristry "one to one" tuition I have ever had, from Georgia.  She is truly incredibly talented and I am not embarrassed to say, that I have "top-up" sessions with her to keep my floristry skills up to date and in tune with the floristry trends.
