Health Spaces are delighted to be supporting Leicester Hospitals Charity by taking part in The Big Abseil later this year. The charity event, held in July, will help to raise funds for the redevelopment of the chemotherapy suite at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, creating additional space for six new chairs and facilitating 4,000 more treatments each year.
Beth Roberts, creative design lead at Health Spaces: “As a local resident to the Leicester hospitals, I am really delighted to be able to take part in this event for Leicester Hospitals Charity. This new health space will help to ensure that everyone in the community has the best chance of winning their fight against cancer. Health Spaces recently completed a new healthcare construction project at Leicester General Hospital. The CDH reporting centre for the radiology staff featured a mural of the city in the staff break-out area. The Health Spaces team taking part in the charity challenge are looking forward to seeing these city views for real as part of their challenge!
“I am not a huge fan of heights so this will certainly be a challenge for me, but I am looking forward to helping to make a difference – and seeing the landmarks of Leicester of course!”
Beth will be joined by Nigel Thompson, Head of Construction, and Tom Higgins, Pre-Construction Manager.

“The idea was intended as a ‘Who’s-Who of Leicester’ meets ‘Where’s Wally’ – this tongue-in-cheek reference is rooted in our aim to offer some visual relief to the radiologists. The naturally lit kitchen with its whole wall birds-eye view of Leicester affords the users some long range relief from the intensive short range focus of their daily work.” Richard Henson, Architect.
