Introduction: A Partnership That Makes a Difference

At Goring Hall Hospital, our mission has always been to provide compassionate, high-quality care to every patient who walks through our doors. As a charitable hospital, we understand the vital role community support plays in helping us go further for those in need. This year, we are proud to announce that Andy's Angels has been chosen as our Charity of the Year. Through our partnership and the Text Donate campaign on the National Funding Scheme, we are coming together to raise vital funds for children and families facing serious illness.

About Andy’s Angels

They provide practical help, emotional support, and unforgettable experiences for children who have lost a loved one, along with their families. Their initiatives range from Grief Play café and and Intergenerational Bereavement Choir Every service they run is designed to alleviate stress, nurture hope, and create positive memories for families facing difficult times.

Why This Partnership Matters

Choosing a Charity of the Year is more than a title—it’s a commitment. At Goring Hall Hospital, we recognize that healthcare is not just about treatment but also about the emotional and practical support that families need during challenging times.
