Bradley’s Jewellers supports York and Scarborough NHS Foundation Trust

Independent jewellery business Bradley’s Jewellers York, has once again pledged to support the York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity and the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust by donating a cluster-style pendant for its upcoming raffle.

Ahead of the Trust’s annual Celebration of Achievement Awards at Scarborough Spa on 9 November, Bradley’s Jewellers York owner, Kay Bradley, will offer the pendant to one lucky raffle winner, with all proceeds going to support patient care.

The cluster-style pendant, handmade by British jewellery manufacturer Brown and Newirth, is crafted in platinum with a total of 0.50 carats of natural diamonds of G-colour and SI clarity. It has a recommended retail price of £2,495.

In 2022, Bradley donated pieces from her Rainbow collection, including a Rainbow Hope locket and four Rainbow Hope badges, which was designed and developed during the first national lockdown in March 2020.

The range captures “the spirit” of the NHS Rainbow, which became a symbol of optimism, hard work, and thanks during the hardest months of the crisis.

The Celebration of Achievement Awards, hosted by the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, recognises the achievements of individuals and teams working for the trust.

As a result of donations by Bradley’s Jewellers York in 2022, the York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity raised £1,350, which was directed towards improving patient care and experience and supporting staff wellbeing.

Bradley said: “Being from Yorkshire and operating from business from this great city is hugely important to me, both personally and professionally. After witnessing the remarkable work done by all healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic, I was inspired to give back as part of the annual Celebration of Achievement Awards.

This is the second year I have donated to its anticipated raffle, and I can’t wait to find out who walks away with this special diamond pendant on the night.”

“For this year’s Celebration of Achievement Awards raffle, I wanted to up the ante with an exceptional diamond cluster pendant, lovingly handmade in the United Kingdom by one of our finest manufacturers, Brown and Newirth. We have so much talent and expertise in the UK, whether we are talking about the NHS or fine jewellery craftsmanship.”

Emma Sargent, community fundraiser at York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity, added:
“We are delighted that Bradley’s Jewellers are once again very generously supporting our key raffle at the Celebration of Achievement Awards.

“Kay’s generous donation of the pendant will help us raise funds for the extras to improve patient care and experience and support staff wellbeing in the new Urgent and Emergency Care Centre. From relatives’ rooms allowing family members to stay close by to intensive care, to gardens enabling patients to get some fresh air, this will transform the experience for patients and families visiting Scarborough Hospital.”
