Fundraisers from the Stomper Crew raised an amazing £1105.55 towards our cause and we couldn’t be more grateful!

The Crew, consists of Peter, Kevin, Paul & Rob, all incredible DJ’s who like to make a difference. They come together and dedicate at least 4 gigs a year to charities that mean something to them, and this time they chose us!

This time they chose to support us after Kevin’s wife Julie suggested so. Julie has worked for the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital for many years and wanted to give something back to support the patients.

The night consisted of the Crew performing with Vinyls throughout the night in a range of music styles. They asked for a entrance fee, as well as held a raffle with prizes donated from the local community.

They raised over £1000 on the night, enough to fund a new entertainment unit, complete with Smart TV, games and console for one of our young adult rooms.

We are working with Julie and the crew to put this money towards one of our improvement projects that we are currently working on.

We are so thankful to Julie & the ‘Stomper Crew’ for choosing to support us as well as all those who contribute to the raffle. This money will make a real difference to patients and families at ROH.

Our wonderful fundraisers braved the rain and ran a total of 13 miles in aid of our cause this Sunday.

All our fundraisers had a very personal connection with the hospital
which drove them to almost double their fundraising targets.

Matthew and Natasha both were fundraising to say thank you
for the care their daughter received over the last couple of years for a spinal
condition called Scoliosis. Erin’s care was life changing for her and her
family, so much so she’s now back to a sport which she loved!

“Erin has actually gone back to running parkrun over the past few weeks; pain free; something she could have only dreamt of before” Mum – Natasha

Adam Roberts, another of our fundraisers had a hip resurface
at the hospital some years ago and because of his great experience of the
hospital, decided to apply to work there. Safe to say he was successful and has
been working for the trust for some years.

“Not only did ROH give me a new lease of life, I am also lucky enough to work for the Trust. So I have personally experienced, and also get to see on a daily basis, the amazing job all of the staff do for our patients”

Its truly humbling to see such support from our community,
towards such an important appeal.

We have raised a total of £856 including gift aid towards the Eureka Appeal.

This will support an extra 56 hours of research nursing on
specific projects which is incredible.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our fundraisers, who went above and beyond to reach their target, raise awareness and promote our charity!

We had a really wonderful time at our summer market today promoting the charity & bringing something a little different to our staff, patients and visitors.

We were humbled by the amount of patients and families who came to visit us and join in the fun.

Despite some cancellations due to the high winds, we still managed to raise over £200 towards our general appeal.

“Its lovely to just be around such a positive environment”
