Delivering Comfort to The Royal Oldham Hospital – 30.12.24

On 30th December 2024, Just.Bathe had the privilege of delivering ten of our specially curated boxes to the Accident and Emergency department at The Royal Oldham Hospital. These boxes, designed to provide comfort and dignity to parents during their most challenging moments, were warmly received by the hospital staff.

We were greeted by Ward Sisters Rachel Allen and Maxine Cregan, who expressed their appreciation for the work we do and the impact these boxes will have on grieving families. Their support and enthusiasm remind us of the importance of collaboration with healthcare professionals in ensuring these resources reach the families who need them most.

The photograph here captures this special moment, featuring Just.Bathe founder Dr. Steph Alger alongside Rachel and Maxine. We are deeply grateful for their kind reception and for allowing us to further our mission at The Royal Oldham Hospital. Moments like these inspire us to continue expanding our reach and offering compassion and care to more families.

Thank you to everyone who helps make deliveries like this possible. Together, we can make a real difference.

Fulfilling our promise to Salford Royal Hospital- 28.03.25

On 28th March 2025, Just.Bathe were honoured to be invited to Salford Royal Hospital to deliver care boxes to the Critical Care Unit (CCU). This special invitation came from Matron and Ward Manager Natalie Bamford, who warmly welcomed us to the ward.

This visit held profound personal significance for Just.Bathe’s founder, Dr. Steph Alger. It was at Salford Royal Hospital in 2020 that Dr. Alger’s beloved son sadly passed away. Returning to the very ward where such deep loss was experienced was an emotional journey for Dr. Alger and her husband, Mr. Alger. Their strength and dedication to transforming their grief into a mission of support for others is at the very heart of Just.Bathe.

During our visit, we were deeply touched to read the heartfelt feedback notes from the CCU staff and to hear first-hand how, until now, they have been purchasing essential comfort items for patients out of their own wages. We are incredibly proud that moving forward, Just.Bathe will be supplying these much-needed care items, helping to ease both the burden on staff and the experience of patients during their most vulnerable times.

We are also excited to share that a journalist from LBC (Leading Britain’s Conversation) and Global Radio accompanied Dr. and Mr. Alger during this poignant visit. Their support is helping to shine a light on the vital work Just.Bathe is doing and to share our story with a much wider audience. We hope that through this media coverage, we can inspire others, raise greater awareness of the critical need for care and comfort in hospitals, and encourage support for our growing mission.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Salford Royal Hospital, Natalie Bamford and her incredible CCU team, and our media partners for their compassion and support. Together, we are making a meaningful difference — one care box at a time.
