Bruntwood has pledged £500,000 to The New Children's Hospital Appeal

Bruntwood has pledged to raise £500,000 over the next 5 years towards the New Children's Hospital Appeal - the biggest and most ambitious charity pledge in our company's history.

The hospital is being constructed on Wilmslow Road and Upper Brook Street in Manchester and will be the largest hospital of its kind in the country. It will care for 140,000 children each year in an integrated development that will host 4 new hospitals and is the single largest healthcare investment ever seen in the UK.

Bruntwood staff voted to concentrate their fundraising on the Spinal & Orthopaedic Ward, which will care for children all over the North West who have suffered spinal and orthopaedic injuries from traffic accidents and serious falls or collisions. It will also care for children who undergo elective surgery for conditions they've suffered from since birth.

Off to a great start

When the ward is completed in 2009 it will treat around 450 children each month. Our contribution will be used to buy up to date equipment and enhance the facilities for the children who have to spend time there.

Fundraising is off to a great start with £100,000 already raised in 2006. Events such as the Charity Carol Concert, the annual Golf Day and the Bruntwood Ball have taken place alongside smaller fundraising activities such as a sponsored 10km run and a sponsored Zip Line.
