Our colleagues at Jenks & Cattell Engineering have selected Birmingham Children’s Hospital as their nominated charity for 2024. BCH has had a profound impact on the lives of some of our colleagues and their families.

14 of us are taking on the 3-Peaks Challenge in September.

Recently, BCH launched the ‘It Starts Here’ appeal to raise funds for transforming their main entrance, which welcomes 100,000 sick children each year. The goal is to make it a more welcoming and less intimidating space.

Other fundraising efforts include £1 million annually for support and research, £1.5 million for the iMRI Appeal to enhance neurosurgical brain operations, and funds for play spaces and VR headsets to help distract and comfort children, reducing their anxiety.

We hope our support will contribute to innovative treatments for some of the UK’s sickest children. Your fundraising efforts enable BCH to make the hospital feel like home and help discover new ways to treat and cure childhood diseases.
