CTB, our CEO's fundraising group, donates £10,000 to Medicinema at BCH

CTB is thrilled to donate to the Medicinema

The Medicinema is a fully accessible cinema and the largest of its kind in the UK and the first in the Midlands. It will provide meaningful respite from the wards and improve wellbeing for both long and short-term patients and their families. Bringing the magic of the movies to the hospital through a shared cinema space will create positive experiences for thousands of patients and their families every year and at no cost to them or the NHS. The cinema will be complete with 63 purpose-made, movie-style seats and is designed specially to accommodate wheelchairs, hospital beds and medical equipment to ensure as many patients as possible can access the screenings. Once complete, it will be the largest MediCinema in operation, expecting to provide around 260 screenings per annum and putting smiles on the faces of an estimated 5,000 attendees every year. 

The CEO of DesignerGiving, Lucy Chatting, says 'this will have a huge impact on children staying long term in hospital - it will brighten their days, keep them feeling more normal and it will also bring much respite for parents. It is always difficult to keep children occupied in hospital.'
