This print firm has been based in Sheffield for over 125 years, and is delighted to be supporting such an important local cause.
They have pledged to raise a total of £6,400 from a variety of fundraising initiatives. This money will then be used to purchase a new ECG machine for the leukaemia and other blood disorders ward (ward P3), at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield.
Head of Fundraising for the Sheffield Leukaemia and Blood Disorders Appeal, Emma Dickens, said: "The support of local companies such as Northend, is vital to the success of our appeal. We have a target of raising £150,000 to fund new equipment for a ward and day room that take in patients from across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamsire and North Derbyshire."
