Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In June, we are heading to the Lake District to swim 1 mile across Lake Windermere in the Great North Swim! All to raise funds for the Children’s Appeal at Lancashire Teaching Hospital Trust.

The Children’s Appeal aims to raise £1 million to create a bright, friendly and appealing environment for all children visiting our hospital and to give children and their families the best possible care and experience from the moment they arrive.

Every year, our Children’s services at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust treat over 10,000 children from just one-day to 19-years-old, for conditions ranging from breathing difficulties and broken limbs to mental health conditions. That’s a lot of children, plus their families, who will benefit from the changes we want to make.

Our Hospital Charity wants to fund the additional items, equipment and above and beyond finishes that will ensure our paediatric facilities offer a first class and inclusive environment.  All children, including those with physical and learning disabilities or mental health conditions, will be able to move freely, feel safe, and have access to play activities and relaxation, whilst at the same time the improvements will also benefit parents and carers.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
