Story

We are jumping off the roof of Queens Medical Centre for Nottingham University Hospitals Charity because we want to support the wellbeing of our patients and our wonderful staff teams!

In a moment of madness, Russ Pitchford, General Manager of NUH Medicine Division, Lisa Kelly, NUH's Chief Operating Officer and Lorraine Hourd, Divisional Nurse for NUH Ambulatory Care Division, dared each other to take part in this year's event. The fearless trio has been joined by the new CEO, Anthony May, who has gamely offered to join The Great Descenders in their brave undertaking to raise some much-needed funds!

The date has been rescheduled for Saturday 25 March 2023, after postponement from 2022.

Please donate as much as you can afford - and don't forget to come along and cheer the team on at this nail-biting event at QMC. The team will be jumping in the first slot at 10:00-10:30!

Nottingham Hospitals Charity supports patients and staff across Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham City Hospital, Nottingham Children's Hospital and Ropewalk House.

Nottingham Hospitals treat over 10,000 patients each year and your generous donations will help them to continue this care.
