The Guardian Angel Appeal aims to raise money to develop Children's High Dependency Care for sick children at York Hospital.

This will allow more sick children to be treated here in York rather than being transferred to Leeds or elsewhere in the country.

This will reduce stress for young children and their families during a traumatic time.

It is hoped that none of us will ever need this service ... but just imagine for one minute if you did need this level of care for your child and it was not available!

On that note, we ask you to dig deep and help the sickest children of York to be treated in their hometown.

Our local businesses are renowned for their generosity; please find it in your budgets to help us.
