Hospital Rainbow brings gold to charity fundraiser

The British Ironwork Centre, in partnership with The Countess of Chester Hospital Charity, have so far raised over £39,000 for the Blue Skies Balcony Appeal.

A Rainbow Sculpture, sponsored by Medicash, has been designed and created by The British Ironwork Centre in Oswestry and is a project that commemorates all the keys workers that have played a vital part in the pandemic, and to recognise all their hard work.

Colourful hearts can be bought to be placed on the Rainbow, and the Countess Hospital Charity want to fill the rainbow with hearts, each one a tribute to key workers as well as personal tributes from family members and friends. Funds raised by the Hospital Rainbow Sculpture will be put towards the Blue Skies Balcony Appeal, a £500,000 project which aims to build a balcony onto the Intensive Care Unit at The Countess of Chester Hospital.

Hearts can still be sponsored, and each heart can be chosen in any colour of the rainbow – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, or violet. The Countess Charity ask for a minimum sponsorship of £10, and for each sponsorship a favour will be sent to the sponsor in their chosen colour for them to keep.
