Broomwood Hall
“One of Broomwood Hall's family’s youngest was diagnosed with a Wilm’s Tumour, Stage 4 (kidney cancer) in March 2020. She was cared for fantastically at
St George's and is now all clear, as her family know from experience, their paediatric facilities are very poor having been designed 50 years ago and this is why we are supporting this appeal."
Peabodys
"Peabodys has been with St Georges for many years and has seen how hard it is for the staff and patients alike. We thoroughly believe in this hospital

through the ordeal of possibly life-threatening diseases."

"Like the rest of the NHS, St George's is an absolutely incredible organisation.
All we have to do if we need fixing is to get down there and they do the rest. St George's Hospital, "we love you."
Amerjit Chohan
"I'm so inspired by the staff here at St George's Hospital, both at our PICU centre and also our wards, they do amazing jobs everyday.
My task of jumping out of a plane is relatively easy compared to what they do so the reason that I am doing this is because of their inspiration to me.'
Primark Tooting
"St Georges is a local charity it does a lot for our community and Primark Tooting wanted to give something back."
Jacqueline Totterdell
“I’m incredibly proud of St George’s – our staff work amazingly hard, sometimes in the most difficult of times, and I want to give something
back by supporting the Time for a Change Appeal.”

The Charity aims to raise £5m in support of transforming children’s services at St George’s Hospital. The joint intention of the Trust and the Charity is that funds generated by the Charity will contribute to the refurbishment of Nicholls and Pinckney wards. Through this Appeal, there is a small chance that we will raise more money than we need. If this happens, or if for any unforeseen reason we are unable to proceed as originally intended with the projects outlined, gifts will be used to support other projects that benefit children’s services.
