We were thrilled to have been selected as the chosen charity for the Nottingham Hospitality Association’s 2025 Awards. This prestigious partnership was celebrated in style during the awards ceremony at Nottingham’s Crowne Plaza Hotel, where we were honoured to be the recipients of the evening’s raffle proceeds.
The raffle featured incredible prizes generously donated by businesses across Nottingham’s hospitality sector, including Hilton Nottingham, It’s in Nottingham, Leandro Hotels Nottingham, Park Plaza, St James Hotel, Nottingham Venues, and Crowne Plaza Nottingham. Thanks to their generosity and the support of award attendees, the raffle raised an impressive £1,000 in support of our Oncology Fund.
Our Oncology Fund specifically provides support for essential equipment, innovative therapies, and pioneering research at Nottingham’s NHS hospitals, to improve the lives of cancer patients and their families. Contributions like this help ensure that Nottingham’s cancer care remains among the best in the country.
The decision to support our Oncology Fund was inspired by personal stories shared by members of the Nottingham Hospitality Association. We were deeply moved to hear how Nottingham’s NHS hospitals have provided vital care and support to them, their friends, and their families during difficult times.
Sam Cousens, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Nottingham Hospitals Charity, said:
“We are incredibly grateful for the Nottingham Hospitality Association’s support and honoured to hear so many heartfelt stories about how our hospitals have made a difference in the lives of their members, their loved ones, and their colleagues. What makes Nottingham Hospitals Charity truly unique is that funds raised go directly to supporting NHS hospitals right here in Nottingham, and we were privileged to have the backing of some of Nottingham’s most recognised hospitality businesses at such a special event. A huge congratulations to all the nominees and winners at the awards ceremony – it was a night to remember!”
We extend our deepest thanks to the Nottingham Hospitality Association and the entire hospitality community for their generosity and support.
