We are so excited that The Myton Hospices are on the Monopoly: Royal Leamington Spa Edition, available in shops now!
We were honoured to be the first charity and organisation to be announced for the brand new board game.
When it was announced earlier this year that Leamington was getting its very own Monopoly board game, the local community were asked to send in nominations and suggestions for landmarks and organisations to feature.
After all the suggestions were made, a specific poll took place for three local charities to ‘Pass Go’ and feature on the board.
Our community and supporters rallied behind us and voted for us to have a square! Thank you so much to everyone who nominated Myton!
Ruth Freeman, CEO at The Myton Hospices, said:
We are delighted to be part of the new Leamington Spa Monopoly game and want to thank everyone who nominated us.
Our community is at the heart of our vital work, supporting people with life-limiting illnesses and their families, so to feature on this new local Monopoly edition is very fitting.
We are honoured to be associated with Monopoly as it is such an iconic game.
Ella Gibbs, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK, said:
A huge congratulations to The Myton Hospices.
The response from the public has been overwhelming and thank you to everyone who sent in nominations.
We were invited to attend the launch where our Communications Assistant, Laura Dadson, and Nursing Assistant, Hayley Croft, met the Monopoly Man himself as well as the other organisations and amazing charities featured on the board.
But this isn’t the first Monopoly board Myton has appeared on, as we were also lucky enough to feature on the Coventry version of this incredibly popular board game!
You can see us in situ and find out all the other Leamington landmarks and organisations here.
Thank you to everyone who nominated Myton to appear on this monopoly board, we couldn’t be more grateful!
