Fundraise at work

We are grateful to the huge generosity of our business partners, who play a significant role in enabling us to improve the lives and welfare of patients and staff at George Eliot Hospital.

Building a partnership with George Eliot Hospital Charity is a wonderful opportunity not only to make a significant difference to the care offered to people treated across our hospital sites, but also to show the public the sort of company you are while bringing your employees together.

Support the community: many of your staff, clients and other stakeholders are likely to have had some contact with the hospitals within our network. Show your support for all the individuals linked to your company – and beyond.

Bring your staff together: teaming up for fundraising events is a chance for your employees to come together for a popular cause, boosting morale and encouraging unity within your organisation.

Make a real difference: our work directly enhances the care and wellbeing of patients across the Nuneaton and Bedworth, North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire. By contributing, you will be going beyond your day-to-day business to support the individuals most in need. Get in touch now to discuss the ways that together, we can make a difference.
