Inclusive Technology has raised £50,000 towards Manchester's New Children's Hospital Appeal, through their SwitchIt! Bob the Builder software.
SwitchIt! Bob the Builder was the brainchild of Inclusive's Chairman Martin Littler, who saw a way to support the Appeal and bring Bob the Builder within reach of the most severely disabled children.
SwitchIt! Bob the Builder was developed and published free of charge by Inclusive, with all proceeds going to the Appeal. It has lots of fun and accessible activities featuring Bob and Wendy, Scruffty and Spud, Farmer Pickles and Bird, Dizzy and Scrambler, Travis, Scoop, Benny, Lofty, Muck, Roley and Pilchard.
The money raised will fund parental accommodation and specialist equipment for children's services at the new-state-of-the-art hospitals due to open on the site next to the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2009. For details see www.rmchcharity.org.uk.
SwitchIt! Bob the Builder has been produced with the kind permission of the BBC and leading pre-school children's entertainment producers and rights owners HIT Entertainment.
