George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust has been awarded £4,916 in funding as part of a scheme to join up the green spaces that border the hospital, including the area at the back of Bermuda Park.

The goal is to give the hospital staff, visitors and local community a pleasant and natural space to enjoy. It will include:

Creating a “no-mow” green corridor around the entire hospital
The sowing of native wildflower seeds to encourage flowers and other plants, supporting wider biodiversity in the area

The Trust’s volunteering service will recruit volunteers from the community to deliver this exciting project and some of this resource will be used to maintain and improve the patient and staff gardens at the hospital.

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust is an integral part of the community in Nuneaton and Bedworth and part of the proposed no-mow perimeter already offers a walkway through the hospital. This route is used throughout the day by dog walkers, school children, parents and other members of the local community.

So that these members of the local community can learn about the purpose of the new green space, the wildflowers that are growing, and the types of flora and fauna they can look out for, there will be information boards situated along the route.
