In the charity's own words
The aim of the Christian Blandford fund is to improve the comfort of children and their families, particularly those affected by cancer, during prolonged stays in NHS hospitals. We have worked mostly with St George's Hospital in Tooting but we have improved several other children's wards in the UK. We are now working closely with The Tesla Owners Group UK to provide mini electric cars for wards.
