Thank You!

  Welcome!

Max Beesley, Chris Bisson, Ryan Giggs, Richard O’Brien and Samia Smith are lending their support as the Five Star Scanner Appeal Ambassadors, to help raise £1 Million to provide a much needed replacement MRI scanner for The New Manchester Children’s Hospital.

The scanner will help children from Carlisle to Crewe, and, in special cases, anywhere in the UK.

The new equipment will cut the time of a standard scan from 45 minutes to 15 minutes, making it far less distressing for children.

We will be able to diagnose cancer and cancer related illnesses earlier, enabling doctors to provide early treatment that will ultimately save children’s lives.

Calling All Petrol Heads

We are the official charity for this year’s UK Cannonball 8000 Rally! This is a sponsored event with a difference as your friends, colleagues and business contacts sponsor you and get advertising space on your car for their corporate logo or simply their message of good luck!

It’s on 1st June and starts Manchester United’s Old Trafford with a big hearty breakfast. The cars will then convoy down to Brighton where a welcome party will be made at the Grand Hotel on the beach front. Once everyone has arrived we will move onto the beach for a party through to the early hours, and when you’ve had enough of that you can go rest your head in your room in the Grand.

Places are limited so please call Krissy on 01617988901 or email krissy@fivestarsappeal.co.uk for more information.

The Wallness Children’s Charity started fundraising 30 years ago for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. We have re-launched as the Five Stars Scanner Appeal and are proud to be working in partnership with The New Children’s Hospital Appeal*, raising funds to help ensure the new hospital is the very best it can be.

The Five Stars Scanner Appeal, through its pledge to raise £1million for a new MRI scanner, will make a major contribution to the quality of treatment for young patients. The New Children’s Hospital Appeal will help to provide the best equipment for diagnosis and treatment and accommodation so that parents can stay close to their child during treatment.

Working together, we will help to shape the future.

*The New Children’s Hospital Appeal is part of the Central Manchester and Manchester Children’s University Hospital Charity. Registered charity number 1049274
