Dot’s Dream Foundation – Changing Unit for Hospice

by isleofman.com 7th October 2011
Dot’ss Dream Foundation have been established since April 2011, a charity set up in memory of former Douglas Mayor, Dot Pitts. One of the charity’s short term aims was to purchase a baby changing unit to be installed at Hospice Isle of Man, for use by the many families attending the in-patient unit or Rebecca House. Nicola Walkingshaw, one of Dot’s children and a trustee of the charity said “We spent many weeks at Hospice with mum, and as she had three very young grandsons it could sometimes be difficult spending time at Hospice without facilities for the children. As a family we identified that this would make lives easier for anyone visiting the Hospice with young children, and thought it would be a novel and welcome addition to the facility.” Nicola is shown in the picture with her daughter Lily using the changing unit for the first time.
