Story
Historically hospitals have always relied on public support, even after the founding of the NHS; Hull and East Yorkshire University Teaching Hospitals (HUTH) are no different. Our mission as a charity is to raise money to help the Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital do more to ensure every patient receives the best and most modern care possible. Your support will help provide additional specialist equipment and support services, as well as aid the transformation of spaces and facilities within the hospitals for patient and visitor comfort alike.
The HUTH Finance team, supported by colleagues from across the organisation, began fundraising for Wishh in 2019, in support of our CFO who was running the London Marathon. Although Covid meant the marathon was postponed, our fundraising efforts have continued. This year we are continuing to support Wishh through the sale of handcrafted items, many of which are knitted, crocheted or sewn by our own team members, colleagues and family.
All of the money raised here will contribute towards the WISHH fundraising targets for 2020.
