Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has received its second instalment of £250,000, from the HELP Appeal’s £1,000,000 pledge, for its state-of-the-art new helipad.
The HELP Appeal, the only charity in the UK to fund vital infrastructure for hospital helipads, has now donated half of the cost of the new 24-hour primary helicopter landing site - serving the Hospital Trust’s one million patients from across the North West.
Located on the roof of a multi-storey car park on Grafton Street, the new helipad will be connected to the hospitals by a high-level link bridge and roof top corridor.
Work is now underway on the new helipad, with the site expected to be fully operational by spring 2018.
