Theatre raise a whopping amount for local charity!

Grand Opera House York is delighted to announce that they have raised a spectacular £8,765.17 in aid of York Hospital Charity in 2019. This will go towards helping fund the extras to improve healthcare facilities above and beyond the NHS making patients feel better. 

Joe Fenton, Community Fundraiser at York Teaching Hospital Charity said “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Grand Opera House and to everyone who generously donated at the bucket collections held across 2019. The incredible amount that has been raised is truly inspiring and will go a long way in improving the staff and patient experience across our hospitals. The money will be used benefit a number of  wards including Children’s, Dementia, Renal Unit and our Maternity Bereavement Suite – so thank you for your fantastic support.”

Clare O’Connor,  Theatre Manager says “We are absolutely delighted to have contributed nearly £9,000 (£8765.17) to numerous departments (Renal Unit, Children’s Ward, Dementia Appeal and Butterfly Appeal) in the hospital over the past 12 months, in conjunction with the wonderful York Teaching Hospital Charity.  Without the very generous donations of our audience members, and the time kindly given by volunteers for collections, we would not have achieved so great a figure, which means so much to all the staff at the Grand Opera House.  The patients and relatives who use these departments at the hospital will benefit greatly from these funds which will improve their experience during a difficult time, and we look forward to more successful fundraising over the next 12 months – thank you!”
