Housebuilder makes donation to Birmingham Children’s Hospital

A Midlands housebuilder has donated £1,200 to the cardiac unit at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Horgan Homes made the donation after organising a Valentine themed open day at the latest phase of its Manor Gardens development near Clent and choosing the hospital’s charity as the focus for its fundraising.

The single storey luxury homes in the second phase of the bespoke development were unveiled at an open day on February 11 and a donation was made for every show home viewing carried out at the event.

Director Sophie Horgan handed over the cheque during a visit to the hospital, when she found out more about the work of the hospital and the vital need for fundraising.

She said: “It was an honour to find out more about the work of the hospital and the cardiac unit in particular. The work that the hospital does is truly amazing.

“We believe it’s important to pay something back into the communities where we build and, as a builder of family homes, it felt so appropriate to support the Children’s Hospital and the life saving work it does.”

Ellie Maybury, Philanthropy and Partnerships Executive at Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “We were extremely grateful to receive the generous donation from Horgan Homes and would like to thank all of those involved. Our world-renowned cardiology unit is one of the largest and busiest in the country, delivering innovative specialist care to children with congenital heart disease.

“It was a pleasure to meet Sophie at our hospital to show her the impact fundraising has and how it enables us to continue to improve our patients’ and families’ experience.”

Phase one of Manor Gardens scooped a What House? award for Best Luxury House and two International Property Awards. The selling agent for the new homes is The Lee Shaw Partnership on 01562 888 111 or email hagley@leeshaw.com.
