HB&O offers support to The Grace FundA charity which helps premature babies and their families has been able to count on the generosity of an accountancy firm.
The University of Warwick administered Grace Research Fund helps premature babies and their families at Warwick Hospital, the George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton and the University Hospital in Coventry. The site was constructed by Queens Road internet experts Network and designed by Leamington firm Moo Design. The site will allow visitors to access information about the charity’s work, upcoming events and methods of donation – including innovative schemes involving recycling items such as old mobile phones. Rob Kendall, managing director at HB&O, said: “We were delighted to be able to offer our support to what is a very worthwhile cause. “The effects of premature birth can be truly devastating but we hope less and less parents will have to go through these terrible experiences thanks to the valuable work of The Grace Research Fund.” The Grace Research Fund was set up by Coventry residents Tracy and Simon Hayes in memory of their daughter Grace who passed away aged just nine months through a lung condition and pulmonary hypertension after she was born 14 weeks early. Dr Andy Coe, consultant paediatrician at the University Hospital, said: “The Fund’s success is not only down to the hard work of the executive members giving their time freely, but also the generosity of a number of many local businesses. “We are very grateful to Rob Kendall and HB&O for their generosity and help in getting our website up, functioning and we hope increasing our ability to raise funds.” ENDS Media enquiries: Simon Gilbert Advent Communications 2 Edison Building Electric Wharf Sandy Lane Coventry CV1 4JA Tel: 024 7663 3636 http://www.advent- # # # Advent Communications is a well-established public relations consultancy based in Coventry.
