Nottingham Forest and Nottingham Hospitals Charity launch ‘Hat-Trick for Hospitals’ initiative

Nottingham Forest Community Trust and Nottingham Hospitals Charity have launched a new partnership to fundraise for improvements to patient care in Queen’s Medical Centre, City Hospital, Ropewalk House, and Nottingham Children’s Hospital.

The first campaign in the partnership is ‘Hat-Trick for Hospitals’ whereby they are advocating for supporters and members of the public to take three steps to fundraise £75, in return for their efforts they will receive an exclusive Nottingham Forest shirt.

The hat-trick of steps are as follows:

• Step one – Sign up via JustGiving to do your thing! Supporters can fundraise in their chosen way, whether that’s baking, running, or maybe even sponsored keepy-uppies.

• Step two – Raise £75 or more through your chosen fundraising challenge.

• Step three – Once you’ve completed your fundraising, your exclusive shirt will be posted out to you – hat-trick complete!

Sign up here. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your shirt to arrive.

All money raised through Hat-trick for Hospitals will be split equally between Nottingham Hospitals Charity and Nottingham Forest Community Trust.

The fundraising challenge will help support the Youth Service at Nottingham Hospitals, and Nottingham Forest Community Trust in empowering local communities to live healthier and happier lives.

Graham Moran, BEM, Chief Executive Officer of Nottingham Forest Community Trust, said, “I am thrilled that we have launched this fundraising campaign with Nottingham Hospitals Charity. By coming together, we can harness the power of football to encourage fans and the public to raise funds for two Nottingham based charities with a track record of providing invaluable support where it is needed for our local communities. We are committed to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of local people and the funds raised will be vital in achieving this. We hope Forest fans will get behind this campaign and play their role in making the campaign a great success.”

Barbara Cathcart, Chief Executive of Nottingham Hospitals Charity, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Nottingham Forest Community Trust on this fantastic project. We hope the Hat-trick for Hospital’s challenge will offer Forest fans and other members of the local community a chance to do something fun to support their local NHS, and we think they will love the limited edition shirt they receive as a thank you!

“The money raised will make a huge difference to young patients here at Nottingham Hospitals, and the extra services, facilities and support we’re able to offer them during their time in hospital.”
