At Alder Hey Children’s Hospital we see childhood disease as a monster. Monsters come<br />

in all shapes and sizes, at any time, day or night. Monsters can, however, be fought and the<br />

expansion of our Institute in the Park will provide a dedicated research facility to do just that.<br />

guests about why they were supporting the<br />

charity and received a standing ovation.<br />

For the second year running, Wongs<br />

Jewellers hosted their Winter Ball at the<br />

of Alder Hey. This year the event raised<br />

sponsorship as well as auctions, games<br />

and a raffle on the night.<br />

Clare White, CEO Alder Hey Children’s<br />

Charity: “Wongs Jewellers organised<br />

the most spectacular event to support<br />

Alder Hey. The team worked tirelessly<br />

during the evening to fundraise as well as<br />

ensuring the guests had a fantastic time.<br />

We are overwhelmed by their generosity<br />

and support and would like to say a huge<br />

thank you to everyone who made the<br />

event such a success. The money raised<br />

will support research at Alder Hey, helping<br />

us to continue to make advancements<br />

in children’s healthcare for future<br />

generations, so the support from Wongs<br />

Jewellers is invaluable.”<br />

Family run White Cross Vets,<br />

with practices throughout the<br />

North West, has joined forces<br />

with Alder Hey Children’s<br />

Charity to raise as much<br />

money as possible by donating<br />

£1 for every pet vaccinated at<br />

its West Derby, Gateacre, St<br />

Helens and Widnes practices<br />

until the end of the year.<br />

Managing director Tim Harrison, says: “It’s our job to care for pets, but we also really<br />

care about the communities in which we operate, and we have a real affinity with the<br />

hospital. This partnership means we’re protecting pets by vaccinating them against a<br />

wide range of nasty diseases, as well as raising money to support the invaluable work<br />

that the hospital does.”<br />
