Unity supports Birmingham Children’s Hospital

Published: July 29, 2025

Unity Trust Bank has become a Changemaker at Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity, helping to transform the lives of sick youngsters.

Changemakers support the charity by investing in projects such as life-saving equipment and child-friendly spaces.

Colin Fyfe, CEO at Unity Trust Bank, said: “As a social impact bank, Unity’s mission is to help create a better society.

“We’re based in Brindleyplace and proud to be part of the Birmingham business community.

“We’re delighted to support the region by becoming a Changemaker for such a worthwhile charity.

“Every year, more than 100,000 children and young people receive expert care from Birmingham Children’s Hospital. It’s important to continue to raise the funds needed to provide the best paediatric services.”

As part of its commitment to supporting good causes, Unity’s 270-strong workforce receive up to five paid days a year to volunteer for charities of their choice. Grants and donations are provided to organisations through various programmes.

Dearbhla Craddock, Senior Partnership Officer at Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “Thanks to Changemakers like Unity Trust Bank, we hope to continue to provide the very best care to young people and their families.

“It’s really heartwarming that several Unity colleagues have already spent the day with us to see first-hand what we do. They interacted with children, some of whom were waiting for operations, and this in turn helped the patients’ families.”

Seventeen Unity colleagues will be taking part in the Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital Charity’s Dragon Boat Race 2025. These include CEO Colin Fyfe and his executive committee.

Held at The Mailbox, this year’s event is sold out. It will see an incredible 56 businesses go head-to-head on September 19 and 20 – all united in raising vital funds for the hospitals.

Unity has set a team fundraising target of £5,000. To pledge your support click here
