We are delighted that there is now an eruv in Westcliff that covers SWHC and the surrounding area.

An eruv allows carrying and the pushing of wheelchairs and prams etc. within its boundary on Shabbat.
For more information, please see www.theus.org.uk/article/eruvim

Please find below the map of the new Westcliff Eruv which includes Southend Hospital.
