Challenge yourself to read as many books as you can in 1 month in a sponsored readathon for BCHC Charity!

Birmingham Community Healthcare (BCHC) NHS Foundation Trust provides community health services across the city; from health visiting to palliative care, rehabilitation centres to bedded units, dental care to learning disabilities services, and much more! BCHC cares for patients of all ages across the city.

BCHC Charity's mission is to enhance patient experience and improve their time within the care of BCHC services by funding the extras that are not covered by the core NHS funds. These extras are the sorts of things that bring a smile to our patients and their families and carers, and can range from smaller things like books, toys and toiletries all the way up to huge projects like our therapeutic playground for children with prosthetic limbs. We've renovated garden areas, funded beautiful murals, thrown festive parties with food, drink and gifts, provided sensory lighting spaces, entertained patients with music, magic and days out, and loads more!

By taking part in the Bookworm Challenge, you will be helping BCHC Charity to provide the things that make a real difference to patients under BCHC care whilst losing yourself in the pages of a good book!*

*We cannot guarantee that every book you read will be good. Sorry!
