Park up to support your local NHS

Park up to support your local NHS

 

Sheffield Hospitals Charity is proud to announce a partnership with National car park operator, Q-Park.

All customers need to do is enter the promo code ‘SHC10' when pre-booking their parking at any Q-Park car park in Sheffield or across the UK & Ireland. That will then give each customer 10% off the total cost of their parking, and Q-Park will make a donation to Sheffield Hospitals Charity, who will ensure that that money is spent effectively on services at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.

John Denton, Head of Sales and Marketing at Q-Park, said: "We are really pleased to be able to agree this partnership and work so closely with Sheffield Hospitals Charity.

"Over the past eighteen months we have all been blown away by the dedication of hospital staff as they got to grips with the pandemic, but we know that they need our support at all times. Sheffield Hospitals Charity does incredible work in supporting our hospitals.

"We wanted to give something back and this is a way of doing just that. It gives customers the opportunity to save money, but also make a donation to support our hospital heroes - so when you pre-book your parking, don't forget to enter the code ‘SHC10'."

Sheffield Hospitals Charity is continuing to do all it can to support Sheffield's hospitals, but it needs the support of local businesses.

Gareth Aston, Chief Executive Officer at Sheffield Hospitals Charity said: "Having the support of a company like Q-Park is a major step for us, we are delighted to have them on board and we thank them for their support.

"This is a great opportunity for customers to save some money on their parking, but also do something to support their much loved local hospitals - so please make sure that you use the code.

"Of course, there is so much that we want to do to support our hospitals and we know how many businesses want to give something back - so if you want to get involved please do get in touch."
