About

Once again we're swapping rail for sail (or at least for paddles) to raise money for Birmingham Women and Children's Hospital. The West Midlands Rail Programme isn't just about building railway stations, it's about supporting communities across the West Midlands, and the Orange Armada are proud to be taking part in the 2023 Dragon Boat Race to support a great local cause.

Last year we managed 4th place... this year we're aiming for better!

At Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity, we believe there’s always more we can do for our sick kids and that’s why we will always strive to do more for our patients and families. It’s our mission to raise the vital funds needed to make a real difference to all who use our hospital. 

Your support empowers us to take innovative approaches to treating some of the sickest children in the UK. Your fundraising enables us to make our hospital feel just like home. Your donations are helping us to find new ways to treat and cure childhood diseases.
