The chaplaincy in our hospital Trust has the title of the Centre for Spiritual and Pastoral Care - it is as an all-inclusive centre for support. 

Every year in the hospital here at Hillingdon we have a feature called the Giving Tree in the Chapel. Predominantly staff, but also members of the public are incredibly generous in bringing items that really are for patients who come into hospital over Christmas and maybe didn't have time to pack a bag or they were rushed into hospital.
