UHCW Charity Fest will take place at Assembly Festival Gardens on Saturday 20 August, 12pm-6pm featuring live music from local artists and entertainment throughout the day, as well as gourmet food trucks and funfair games.

All funds raised will go towards supporting staff, patients and their families at University Hospital, Coventry and the Hospital of St Cross, Rugby. Donations will help to fund world leading robotic surgery equipment so that patients can recover faster and be home after major surgery within days, as well as tiny gel pillows to cradle precious neonatal babies’ heads. Discounted tickets are available for NHS staff.

Principal sponsors for the event Uzin Utz UK and Assembly Festival are very proud to be supporting Charity Fest.

Matthew Brown, Managing Director, Uzin Utz UK Ltd said: “We are honoured to support the UHCW Charity Fest in recognition for the excellent care and welfare the NHS staff provide to their patients.  It’s great to celebrate UHCW achievements at such an event, which for the past few years has not been possible and we are looking forward to the festivities.”

William Burdett-Coutts, Artistic Director at Assembly Festival, said: “It is a privilege for Assembly Festival Garden to host UHCW’s Charity Fest. It is set to be a fantastic day of live performances and entertainment, but most importantly a way of raising crucial funds for local hospital staff and patients, and we hope that people across the region will join us to show their support this August.”

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
