"It's going to benefit so many of our patients."
An appeal to build a cinema for hospital patients in Manchester has reached a milestone of over half a million pounds.
The Manchester MediCinema Appeal aims to transform an unused lecture theatre at @MFT_MRI into a 50 seat cinema by raising £1.1m.
Donna O'Reilly from @MFT_Charity told That's TV it will serve as an escape from life on the hospital ward.

Clint Duffy set out to support our @RMCHosp by taking on a massive challenge - summiting Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps! He turned that incredible undertaking into a whole year's worth of challenges and raised £1,390 for our young patients 👏

Some of the City team recently visited the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital to spread some festive cheer! 🎄🩵
The annual visit, which included the donation of over 1,300 gifts, was arranged as part of Manchester City’s ‘Christmas, Together’ campaign, which is raising funds for @citcmancity's year-round programme supporting patients and their families.
