Local biker’s fundraising supports children at Warrington Hospital

A local biker has raised funds to help make hospital visits more comfortable for young patients at Warrington Hospital.

Matt Lamb, who lives in Orford and works as a chemical plant manager at Crosfield, raised more than £2,000 for WHH Charity by sharing online video appeals with his large social media following. A passionate motorcycle rider, Matt used his platforms to support a service that has played an important role in his own family’s life.

Over the past nine years, all three of Matt’s sons have received care at Warrington Hospital. Wanting to give something back to the teams who supported them, Matt chose to fundraise for the children’s ward and paediatric emergency department.

Thanks to his efforts, the money raised has been used to purchase Amazon Fire tablets, televisions and headphones, offering young patients welcome entertainment and comfort during their visit.

Matt said: “This hospital has looked after my boys over the years, so supporting the children’s ward really means a lot to me. Hospital stays can be difficult for children and parents, so knowing these tablets can help make that time a little more comfortable is really special.”

The fundraising page remains open until Saturday 31 January 2026 and highlights the difference local people can make when they come together to support their hospital.
