Taking part in any event such as our HHCC Lottery, Summer Proms Raffle or Summer Extravaganza featuring It’s A Knockout makes a huge difference.

Thanks to the wonderful supporters and fundraisers of HHCC, we were able to contribute to the cost of the refurbishment of our Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

This included amazing mood lighting technology and imaged ceiling panels which enables patients to receive care in a relaxing environment.

One visitor said, “It’s amazing and feels like a hotel.” This is just small insight into how the money you donate can have a huge impact!
