St George’s Hospital Charity gears up for a great 2024

We are proud of the connection we have with St George’s Hospital Charity, the charity we have worked the closest with and that has a permanent spot in the rotation of charities we support.

As 2024 begins, they’re gearing up for some more incredible challenges as they support and assist with plenty of important projects and initiatives within the George’s community. These include skydiving, abseiling, marathons and much more!

Have a look at how you can take part and help St George’s Hospital Charity achieve their goals here.
