We (the nice people at Above & Beyond) would like to welcome you to our first quarterly newsletter. We hope that it will inspire, help, inform and entertain. If you would like to include something in future editions then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Above & Beyond funds projects which touch the lives of the thousands of people cared for by University Hospitals Bristol and its local community services each year.

Last year we gave over £2.2 million in grants to make
a real difference to healthcare in Bristol and the South West.

What does Bristol’s largest hug, Sir Ranulph Fiennes and a tandem abseil on Friday 13th have in common?

Fundraising can be a fun and rewarding experience and we have a bumper selection of events to wet your appetite this year. Go on, get involved.

Over £800 has been raised for the Children’s Hospital by a rather unusual sporting challenge involving a teddy bear’s outfit and boxing gloves.

If you know of anyone who would like to fundraise for your department or ward then we would love to help. Our experienced team can offer advice, support and assist with posters or press coverage.

Take the opportunity to give a gift to future generations.
