Three Peak Challenge
Fundraising for Bradford Hospitals Charity
Story
Bradford's haematology and oncology services have moved into a new home.
The new unit – ‘The Meadows’ – is based at Eccleshill Community Hospital, part of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and houses haematology and oncology outpatients’ clinics and an oncology day unit in spacious, refurbished surroundings.
A team of us are taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge at the end of September to help raise funds to refurbish the Transfusion Unit at The Meadows, which was not part of the initial plans when we moved to our new location.
We are the official NHS charity partner of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. As an NHS charity, we follow the strategic direction of our Trust, funding equipment, training, research and projects which enhance the experience, treatment and care of patients and their families. At Bradford Hospitals Charity, we believe theres always more we can do for our patients and their families. Whether that is providing equipment which is not routinely funded by the NHS, but which speeds up diagnosis, upgrading a piece of kit to make patients more comfortable, funding training which improves staff knowledge, or buying toys and distraction equipment for our young patients to help them cope in hospital we provide over and above, helping our Trust save lives and ensure patients have the best possible experience.We are grateful to each and everyone of you for taking part in the Three Peak Challenge. Good Luck and above all enjoy. Thank you
