Hands that Help-Volunteer Updates
Celebrating 12 Years of Dedication – Thank you Faye!
This month we extend our heartfelt thanks to Faye Heriot, who has been a valued volunteer at Ryde Hospital for the past 12 years. Faye has generously given her time, energy, and compassion to support our patients, visitors, and staff. Over the years, she has become a familiar and friendly face within our hospital community, always offering a warm smile and a helping hand.
Not only has Faye supported our teams on the ground, but she has also brought joy in her own creative way, making hundreds of tea cosies, all our knitted Easter chickens and various other knitted items to keep us all warm. These thoughtful touches have become a much-loved tradition at Ryde, spreading comfort and cheer throughout the hospital.
Her commitment to service has made a real difference in the lives of so many, reflecting the true spirit of care and community that Ryde Hospital is proud to uphold. We are deeply grateful for Faye’s ongoing
dedication and the countless hours she has contributed. Her kindness and commitment embody the values we strive to live by each day, and we are fortunate to have her as part of our Ryde Hospital family.
On behalf of the entire hospital community, thank you, Faye, for 12 wonderful years of service, and we wish you all the very best for your next big adventure.
Join the Pink Ladies & Wayfinders at Ryde Hospital
We’re calling on kind-hearted community members and staff to become part of something special. Volunteers play a vital role in welcoming, guiding, and supporting patients and visitors across our hospital, and we’d love for you to join us. Over the past year alone, the Pink Ladies have donated more than $26,687 worth of equipment and services, including a bladder scanner replacement for Ward 8, CADD Solis Pain Care Pumps, Laerdal training equipment and even the annual subscription for Jackson, the Delta Therapy Dog. Through fundraising activities, they raised a further $21,000 to continue their mission. With Faye’s retirement, the team is now proudly led by Anne Maher (President) and Kym Lamb (Vice-President).
Who are the Pink Ladies? Friendly volunteers who offer comfort and connection — chatting with patients, helping in waiting areas, delivering small items, or lending a listening ear. What do Wayfinders do? They are the first smile people see when they enter Ryde Hospital, guiding visitors to departments, helping them feel calm and confident, and making sure no one feels lost.
