Metrocentre has partnered with the Great North Children’s Hospital (GNCH) to raise awareness and vital funds for the renowned children’s hospital, which supports young patients across the region and beyond. As part of this collaboration, two of Metrocentre’s popular Fun Buggies have been wrapped in a vibrant GNCH-themed design, offering families a fun and engaging way to contribute to the cause.
For the next year, all proceeds from the hire of the GNCH Fun Buggies will be donated directly to the Great North Children’s Hospital Charity. Shoppers can hire the Fun Buggies from Metrocentre’s Customer Services Desks, located outside M&S in the lower Green Mall and Waterstones in the upper Platinum Mall.
Jack Ryan, Fundraising Coordinator at Newcastle Hospitals Charity, expressed his gratitude for Metrocentre’s continued support: “We are extremely grateful to have Metrocentre as such valued supporters. Our recent collaboration with The Great North Children’s Hospital branded Fun Buggies has further shown their commitment to our cause. We’d like to thank everyone involved at the Metrocentre for spreading the word about the important work that we do, which supports our incredible staff and patients at The Great North Children’s Hospital.”
Alex Workman, Customer Services Duty Manager at Metrocentre, who has been instrumental in leading the partnership alongside Bradley Driver, Marketing Assistant at Metrocentre, added: “Metrocentre is proud to support the Great North Children’s Hospital and the incredible work they do for young patients and their families. We hope that through these specially branded Fun Buggies, we can raise both awareness and funds to help make a meaningful impact on the hospital’s services. We look forward to seeing our shoppers enjoy the buggies while contributing to such an important cause.”
The official unveil and launch of the collaboration was celebrated with a special visit from GNCH’s beloved mascot, Fudge the Giraffe, Fundraising Coordinator Jack Ryan, Metrocentre’s Alex Workman, and six-year-old Andrianna, one of the first to experience the new GNCH Fun Buggies.
