Over the last two and a half decades the NOC Appeal has raised £22 million to provide new buildings and facilities for the hospital. This money has been raised with the help and support of thousands of patients and their families, individuals, charitable trusts and companies.
In a major redevelopment the NOC Appeal has raised funds for a new children's ward, two adult wards, a hydrotherapy pool and a research centre.
Please, if you can, help us: we aim to do so much more.
Appeal Director / Trustee: Mrs Jeanette Franklin MBE
