Long-time Stars Appeal benefactor Sir Christopher Benson, has passed away. Sir Christopher and his late wife Lady Benson (pictured above) were very generous and highly-committed supporters of the charity. In 2013, their donation enabled the creation of the Benson Suite at our hospital, which provides a 'place of peace' for local families who tragically lose a baby at birth. The Bensons' contributions also funded our first-ever dedicated Bereavement Midwife. Last April, a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Benson Suite was held, attended by some of the parents who had made use of the facility.
The legacy of Sir Christopher and Lady Benson will live on through the lives their generosity will continue to touch over the months and years to come. We send our deepest sympathies and condolences to their sons, Charles and Julian, and their families.
