ANS Group has been announced as the exclusive headline sponsor for The New Children's Hospital Appeal 2009 event, Notte Bella: Il Finito.
When it was established in 2006, the Appeal aimed to raise £20million to support projects within the new hospital, which opened on 11th June 2009, and which is the largest children's hospital in the country. Now approaching the end of a three year campaign, the Appeal has £2million of its target left to achieve.
Key North West business contacts and celebrities will be attending what is the second Notte Bella event at The Manchester Hilton in October. In 2007, the event was attended by Radio One's Sara Cox and several well-known television personalities. The Appeal expects an even more high profile line up this year.
Scott Fletcher, CEO of ANS Group, commented:
"It is fantastic to be able to help such a worthwhile Manchester based charity. As the largest children's hospital in the UK, the state of the art facilities will have a great and lasting impact not just on our region, but the whole country.
"ANS Group is very proud to be a part of this. We already have established relationships throughout the NHS, working closely with the Trusts to implement new technology and improve patient experience as well as staff efficiency, but this adds a whole new level of engagement and has impacted on us very personally."With £18 million raised so far there is a lot of work ahead of us, and we are committed to helping The New Children's Hospital Appeal reach its target."
