Fundraising for Hugo!  

We’re coming together to support Hugo, one of our amazing children, as his family raises money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital—a place that has done so much for them. 

On Friday 21st November 2025, Albrighton Primary will be holding a sponsored walk around the school grounds. They’re inviting all children to wear red, Hugo’s favourite colour and join us in raising funds for this incredible cause. 

Hugo’s Story:

Last year, Hugo was diagnosed with a rare condition affecting his lymphatic system, which causes painful lesions in his bones and limits his physical activities. Birmingham Children’s Hospital has been a lifeline for Hugo and his family, with many specialist teams working together to give him the best quality of life possible. 

To say thank you, Hugo’s mum Ellie and friends will be walking 17 miles from Wolverhampton to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, the same journey Hugo regularly makes for treatment. Our school walk means Hugo can share a part of his health journey with us, and together we can help other children who rely on the hospital’s care. 

How you can help:
Every donation, big or small, will make a real difference to children and families supported by Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
