A HOSPITAL is asking organisations to take part in a fun day to raise money for seriously ill children.
Darent Valley Hospital will be holding a family event on July 2, at Acacia Halls, Dartford, to boost its Lollipop appeal.
The appeal, which will be officially launched in September, has been set up to benefit sick children until they reach their teens.
The day will include an open-air music concert and an It's A Knockout challenge between hospital staff and businesses.
Money raised from ticket sales will go towards the appeal.
One of the fund's aims is to introduce a high- dependency unit to prevent seriously ill children, such as those suffering from meningitis, being transferred to another hospital.
A hospital spokesman said: "We hope it will be a great day out for everyone and more businesses will join our knockout challenge to raise money for our appeal."
Anyone interested in taking part should call 01322 381333.
