Dragon Boat

Proudly sponsored by:

Dragon boat racing is one of the most colourful and exhilarating water sport activities in the UK and we’re excited to launch our Dragon Boat Race in support of our sick kids.

Racing in traditional dragon boats on the canal next to The Mailbox, in the heart of Birmingham, your team of 17 will take part in a minimum of three races, all 200m each, after which the winning team will be awarded the coveted Dragon Trophy!

You don’t need any prior experience to take part as our experts from Dragon Boat Events will brief all the teams on the day and support you through the various heats. All you'll need to do is get yourself into a team of 17, (16 rowers and one drummer), register and then raise some money!

2023 saw an amazing turn out with a stunning array of teams from across the region. Watch the video below

Gifts in Kind

We often receive donations of toys and games for our patients, particularly around the festive seasons such as Easter or Christmas, and whilst we are incredibly grateful for these, we do have some guidelines around what we can or cannot accept.
Our Vision

Our priority is, and always will be, to address the needs of our hospital, but we can only do so with the help of fantastic supporters like you.
Help Transform The Lives Of Sick Kids

Your single or regular gift helps provide the best possible environment to support our young patients and their families. Ongoing contributions allow us to plan ahead for new projects, research or equipment to ensure we continue providing world-class care. Thank you. Please note, the minimum monthly donation is £3.
Clothing Donations and Recycling

We’ve partnered up with Collection 4 Clothes, a local clothing collection company, who collect donated good quality clothing, accessories, shoes, linen & bric-a-brac on our behalf. We don’t have any charity shops on the high street, so this is a way of donating your old belongings to us from the comfort of your home.
