Last month, @itvmeridian visited Maidstone Hospital to meet patients who have had life-changing cornea transplants.
Around 6,000 people in the UK are waiting for a cornea transplant and there are calls for more people to join the @nhsorgandonor register.

Just one example of the amazing work that your kind donations enable us to do and how you help us to support some of most unwell patients in the hospital.
The ICU garden is a dedicated outdoor area which lets patients spend time outside in their hospital bed, accompanied by staff and supported by all the medical equipment they need.
The garden has been developed with the support of our @MtwCharity. 💙
