- Hospital staff demonstrate their baking skills, knowledge and endurance to raise vital funds for local charity
Colleagues at Spire Norwich Hospital have raised over £680 and covered 1,044 kilometres after a week long series of fund raising activities, during Spire Healthcare’s 2024 Summer charity drive – in aid of our local colleague nominated charity, The Norfolk Hospice – Tapping House, who provide specialist end of life care and support to patients with life limiting conditions, and their families.
The ambition was for colleagues at Spire Norwich Hospital to collectively cover a distance of 1,000km between 8 and 13 July.
During the multi-day event, colleagues across the business, including at Spire Healthcare’s 39 hospitals in England, Wales and Scotland, undertook a wide variety of activities including walking, cycling and running to raise money. At Spire Norwich Hospital, colleagues also came together to host a bake sale, charity lunch, held competitions and completed the local Norwich ParkRun.
Justin Ash, CEO of Spire Healthcare, said: "I’d like to thank Spire colleagues, and consultants for taking part in our 2024 Summer Charity Drive. It’s inspiring to see so many people giving of their time to raise funds for such a wide range of excellent causes. In addition to working every day to make a positive difference to people’s lives through outstanding personalised care, we at Spire Healthcare also believe in giving back to our local communities, and making a positive contribution to society wherever we can. I am therefore incredibly proud of everyone’s support and efforts to make this year’s fundraising period so successful.”
Caroline Fox, Hospital Director at Spire Norwich Hospital said: “I am extremely proud of the efforts our dedicated team made to come together and raise vital funds to support the incredible work of The Norfolk Hospice – Tapping House. We hope that our contribution to The Norfolk Hospice will aid the brilliant work they do with patients and families in our local area.”
