• Morley Glass Helps Hospice Expansion

Morley Glass has donated all the external glazing for a major charity funded expansion of the care facilities at a West Yorkshire hospice.

As part of the Overgate Hospice Big Build programme, Morley Glass has supplied the full external glass package for the new Inpatient Unit, including high quality glazing with integral blinds in key areas throughout the building.

One of the most important elements of the donation is the glass for the full width sliding doors in each of the 16 new patient bedrooms, complete with motorised integral blinds that can be operated by patients using a remote control from their bed.

This specialist glazing will play a vital role in creating bright, calm and private spaces, allowing patients to control light and privacy independently while maintaining comfort and dignity. The integral blinds also support infection control, low maintenance requirements and long-term durability, which are essential considerations in a clinical hospice environment.

Increasing the number of patients the hospice can care for is essential to meeting the current and future needs of the Calderdale community. Alongside increasing capacity, the Big Build is focused on creating a more dignified and supportive environment for patients and their families.

Overgate Hospice relies on charitable donations to fund its specialist care for people living with life limiting illnesses. While the hospice has continued to deliver outstanding care for more than 40 years, its existing facilities have become increasingly outdated and no longer meet modern patient needs.

The Big Build project, which was initiated several years ago, is now rapidly transforming the hospice. The charity has reached 95 percent of its £12.75 million fundraising target, with generous support from individuals, trusts and businesses including Morley Glass.

Good cause support

Laura Golding, the director of income generation at Overgate Hospice, says: “Morley Glass has made an incredibly meaningful contribution to our Big Build by donating all of the external glazing for our new Inpatient Unit. The sliding doors with remote controlled integral blinds in our patient bedrooms are particularly important, as they allow patients to control their own environment from their bed, supporting independence, dignity and comfort at a time when those things matter most.

“This donation will have a lasting impact on the experience of patients and families who come through our doors in the years ahead, and we are truly grateful to Morley Glass for recognising the importance of creating high quality, thoughtful spaces within hospice care.”

Morley Glass supports a wide range of good causes that deliver social and environmental benefits across Yorkshire. Its GreenVision recycling initiative, launched in 2021, has diverted more than 2,600 tonnes of waste glass from landfill, generating tens of thousands of pounds in grants and charitable donations.
