Fund-raiser boosts centre for heroes

Henry Wong helps hospital’s unit for injured military and their families

Harborne-based Cantonese restaurant Henry Wong welcomed more than 70 guests to an event in support of Queen Elizabeth Hospital Charity’s Fisher House. Diners enjoyed a selection of the restaurant’s finest cuisine with each course partnered with an accompaniment from Laurent-Perrier. The event raised £8,500 for the restaurant’s chosen charity which is a ‘home away from home’ for injured military personnel based at the hospital. Since opening in 2013 more than 2,000 people have used Fisher House, providing the equivalent of 11,000 nights of free accommodation to military patients and their families.
