• Imagine you are 5 years old and going into hospital tomorrow. Hospital’s bewildering, scary and unsettling for anyone but especially for children and that is why Birmingham Children’s Hospital is a fundraising hospital.

• Whether it’s £5 to fund some crayons and colouring books whilst waiting for test results, or £42,000 for a lifesaving machine that operates as a mechanical heart. Charitable donations are key to making us what we are: a centre of paediatric excellence that the whole country depends on. Our aim for the 250,000 children that we treat each year is that their family knows our care of their child is our most precious priority.

• You can choose exactly where your fundraising goes. Why not light the way for children with rare diseases and raise sponsorship to help to fund the first children’s rare diseases centre in the UK. Whatever you choose we look forward to welcoming you to the team.
