In loving memory of James (Jim) Forrest who sadly passed away on 16th July 2019.

We are asking for people to donate to help us buy a recliner chair at Kingston Hospital through their charity, instead of offering flowers should anyone wish to do so.

Kingston hospital is sadly short of these specialised chairs and they provided a real lifeline for getting Jim out of bed, aiding with physio therapy and giving Jim more dignity and independence when he had visitors. Without these chairs he would have not been able to leave his bed and develop the strength to start walking again which for Jim was incredibly important.

Elderly patients lose 2.5% of their strength a day with bed rest and 10 days bed rest is equivalent to 10 years ageing.
Getting patients out of bed improves their quality of life, independence and dignity and is essential to getting patients home.

Each chair costs just under £2,000.

Jim was one of the first members of Ranelagh whom I met and was often out and about supporting the team in all weathers: I shall miss him.

Jim was kindness and patience itself. We were lucky to have him in our lives as a family friend and a teacher. Without him, I would not be a doctor now. Thank you so much for all you gave. With love.

Jim was a wonderful family friend and a truly special (and kind!) teacher. I would not be a doctor now if not for him. With love and gratitude for all your help and support xxx
