January Update - NUH Staff
Happy New Year from Nottingham Hospitals Charity, to everyone across NUH!
Welcome to your January email update for NUH staff, where you can find out how to get involved in fundraising for your area of our hospitals in 2025, and how our supporters are helping families on the new Neonatal Unit at the QMC.
Take on a fundraising challenge in 2025!
New year, new challenge?! We’d love you to get involved in one of our fundraising events in 2025, and there are a whole host to choose from.
Whether you fancy taking a 5k run, 10k run or one-mile stroll around Sherwood Pines, rowing on the River Trent, abseiling down the side of the QMC or even jumping out of a plane, there’s an event to suit you!
Why not get your colleagues involved and take on a team challenge in aid of your area of NUH?
How we supported patients this festive season
Over the festive season, we brought joy and cheer to patients across NUH. Grant a Christmas Wish saw us delivering toys, games and kicking off six months of animal encounter sessions at the Children's Hospital! We also created heartwarming experiences like a festive cinema event at Hayward House, ensured adult patients received a thoughtful gift on Christmas Day, and provided festive keepsakes to newborns and their families.
These moments were made possible by the incredible generosity of our supporters, whether through hosting events, taking on challenges, or donating, the support we receive throughout the year helped us spread festive magic to those who needed it most.
How we’re supporting the new Neonatal Unit at the QMC
Thanks to our supporters, we’ve been able to provide over £322,000 of funding towards home comforts and specialist equipment in the new Neonatal Unit at QMC, which opened just before Christmas.
The funding helped to provide welcoming artwork, comfortable furniture, and children’s play equipment, to help make the unit less daunting for families spending time there.
