We will be sharing information on the various events we are participating in to raise funds for this incredible charity as we progress through the year.
UPDATE:
In July, our MD, Gary Exall, ran his first sponsored run in record-breaking temperatures at the London ASICS10K.
... just 😂!
Thank you to everyone that has donated so far... £5.5K in the bag for the amazing Brompton Fountain.
FACT- Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals carry out some of the most complicated heart and lung surgery and procedures on babies & children anywhere in the world.

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Metatech Group's Director, Gary Exall, explains why we chose The Brompton Fountain for our charity of the year:
"The Brompton Fountain provides vital support and resources, medical equipment, and services generally not supplied by the NHS. They work closely with the hospital teams within the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and children's wards. They fundraise to improve the quality of life for their young patients and their families and make a real difference when it's needed most. This charity relies solely on the kindness and generosity of supporters who fundraise for them so that they can continue their vital work.
My Goddaughter Poppy became a Brompton Baby before she was even born when it was discovered she would need life-saving heart surgery from the moment she arrived into the world. Poppy had this surgery when she was just four days old, and during this time, Poppy's parents received an unwavering amount of unconditional support from the Brompton Team.
Poppy recovered well from her first surgery, but at only nine months old, she was diagnosed with another devastating new heart condition and underwent another successful major open-heart surgery
Poppy continues to thrive and is the most amazingly happy little girl to this day. To Poppy's family, the support and expertise they experienced from The Royal Brompton and The Brompton Fountain were literally life-saving.
The Brompton Fountain provided Poppy and her family with experiences that helped them through their journey. For example, the most beautiful singing team came to Poppy's bedside and sang "fly me to the moon" the night before Poppy's surgery, which she loved. In addition, the playroom was a wonderful escape from all the wires and the constant invasive and often upsetting tests. The beautiful distractions and provided toys definitely kept Poppy and her family smiling through some horrendous times.
This is just a tiny part of what the Brompton Fountain does to keep the unbearable bearable, which is why we will be asking our communities to support us in our efforts to support them
We will be posting regular updates on our website blog:

and across our social channels throughout the year to let you know how we are getting on and how you can help us support this incredible charity.'
