The Priory Rooms Meeting and Conference Centre wrapped up a successful week fundraising for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital, taking part in their “Big Bandage Campaign”, by donating an incredible £310.00!

“The Big Bandage” campaign by the Birmingham Children’s Hospital asked for £1.00 donations for bandages to be worn on Friday 11th July, showing your support for the ground-breaking work of the hospital.

The Priory Rooms Meeting and Conference Centre chose to fundraise all week so the wide-variety of meeting and conference room users had opportunity to take part. Staff wore bandages around their arms, legs and even their heads to raise awareness of the local charity and encourage donations.

Generous delegates donated a £1.00, with many also purchasing freshly-prepared cakes for sale. The home-made cakes were donated by The Priory Rooms’ long-standing caterers Just Good Food, who played a vital role in the events success. Just Good Food was delighted to help with the cause and delegates praised the variety and taste of cakes offered throughout the week.

Balfour Beatty Construction Services, working on the Midland Metro extension outside The Priory Rooms building, also joined in with the fundraising event. Public Liaison Manager Lisa Zdravkovic rallied around the local team to raise an incredible £140.00!

All the money raised by The Priory Rooms will go to Birmingham Children’s Hospital’s research projects, help buy state of the art equipment and just as importantly, toys and games for the children to enjoy. The Priory Rooms Meeting & Conference Centre Manager Andrew Callan summed up the week “I am thrilled how much money has been raised for such a great cause. The week has been fun for the staff and delegates, but also helped raise awareness for the hard-work of Birmingham Children’s Hospital and the on-going support they need to continue this work.”

The Priory Rooms would like to thank all of their kind meeting and conference room users who donated to the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. All of the week’s activities helped raise life-saving funds for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

The Priory Rooms hopes that the fantastic feedback and support will inspire other companies to fundraise for charities. More fundraising events will be held at The Priory Rooms throughout the year.
