Britcon Launches Charity Foundation

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Britcon Foundation. The purpose of this foundation is to support local charities and organisations in the communities where we work.

This year, we have selected two charities to support:

Jessop Wing, Sheffield Hospital, Yorkshire
The Jessop Wing, opened in 2001, is a purpose-built maternity unit where approximately 7,000 babies are born each year. The facility provides neonatal intensive care and specialised care for sick and premature babies born in Yorkshire, as well as those transferred from other units requiring this expertise.

Lindsey Lodge Hospice, Scunthorpe
Our second charity is Lindsey Lodge Hospice. They provide care for adults with life-limiting illnesses and specialist palliative care for both day and inpatients. As a charity, they rely heavily on the generosity of local people and organisations to raise just over £3.7 million annually. The majority of their running costs are funded through donations and fundraising efforts by the local community.
