Metro Bank supports Royal Brompton & Harefield charity with £33.5m funding
Metro Bank has provided £33.5m in loan facilities to the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity, which will be used to expand the charity’s property portfolio with the acquisition of its headquarters on the Kings Road, Chelsea.
The charity funds special projects at both The Royal Brompton Hospital and The Harefield Hospital, helping to maintain their status as world-class centres of excellence for the research, diagnosis, treatment and care of heart and lung diseases.
Charity CEO Gill Raikes MBE commented: “I am extremely grateful to Metro Bank for supporting us. Our partnership with them is enabling the charity to grant vital funding to support the care and treatment of patients with complex heart and lung conditions, while keeping our property portfolio strong.”
Mark Stokes, managing director for commercial banking at Metro Bank, added: “The charity does an incredible job at providing invaluable support and care, and we feel privileged to have been able to help it with this funding solution. We’ve worked closely with the charity over the past two years, and we’re pleased to see the robust leadership team take the organisation from strength to strength.”
