July Supporter Update
Welcome to your July update from Nottingham Hospitals Charity. It’s less than two months until our hugely popular Big QMC Abseil, so read on to find out how you can secure your place for this adrenaline-filled challenge! And find out some of the impactful projects your donations are helping to fund at Nottingham’s NHS hospitals.
Soothing artwork for patients undergoing surgery
Thanks to your donations, we’ve transformed a bare corridor into a gallery of comforting artwork.
The art aims to soothe and distract patients who are on their way for surgery in the new Robin Hood Theatre suite at the City Hospital, helping calm anxieties and provide a talking point between patients and staff.
Feeling brave? Join our Big QMC Abseil!
Join our hugely popular Big QMC Abseil on Saturday 6th September, and descend 100 feet down the side of one of the UK’s tallest hospitals!

Dottie's story
Read why Dad Andrew took on a cycling challenge to thank the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit for caring for his little girl. Daughter Dottie spent most of her life in hospital after being diagnosed with multiple rare conditions, before sadly passing away just a few days before her first birthday.
Supporting prospective parents
Thanks to your donations, we’ve funded some special books to support families going through fertility treatment. The books help prospective parents consider how they can discuss their fertility journey with their families, and their future child if their treatment is successful.
Fantastic support from Specsavers
The team from Specsavers HQ in Nottingham have helped fund a special machine to be used in the Radiotherapy department at the City Hospital. They raised money in memory of their colleague’s wife, who was treated in the Radiotherapy department before she sadly passed away.
