We funded a patient room in Oxford Children's Hospital
2017 saw a very special lasting legacy be achieved within the Oxford Children's Hospital in our name. We were extremely proud and delighted to see the fruition of of our labour of years of our hard work campaigning and fundraising for the hospital rewarded with our very own sponsored room treating teenage patients officially opened. After years of setting out to achieve a £40,000 target for the Children's Hospital, late 2016 saw us reach the very special goal in our history. We were delighted in March 2017 when the ribbon to The Play2Give Room on Melanie's Ward was cut by Andrew. The room - a single patient room - was chosen in 2014 with us by the Oxford Hospitals Charity, because our inspiring founder Andrew had brain surgery when he was 12 and treatment from birth and our fellow team player, Dale Harris's daughter, Mya, for treatment to Spina Bifida since she was born. A massive thank you to everyone who supported and helped us over many years including Sainsbury's in Didcot to achieve this very special room which will go on to treat and support teenagers and their families for a lifetime. Other notable funding differences we have made over the years:
We are a well-regarded and established fundraising group recognised at many levels for our work and successes in charitable work across Oxfordshire including the following successes:
