Stockport NHS Charity is encouraging local businesses and individuals to make a generous bid for 'Fredison', one of 19 frogs from Stockport's frogs trail, all of which are now up for sale.

Proceeds from the sale of Fredison will go towards NHS Charity projects - sales from other frogs will go to other charitable causes across Stockport.

Stockport NHS Charity is the local charity for Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, dedicated to supporting every aspect of care at Stepping Hill Hospital and across local NHS community services. The winning bid for Fredison will go towards projects which support the health and wellbeing of patients by delivering services above and beyond ordinary standards.

The lots are delivery only. Delivery of a frog with its base costs £170 within a 20-mile radius of Stockport, or £250 beyond a 20-mile radius.

Fredison the frog was designed by artist local Toubie Jack, and was inspired by and themed around inventor Thomas Edison, who created the first light bulb in 1879, transforming the way people lived then and now. 

Edison was inspired by the fireflies portrayed on Fredison's belly. The frog will soon be auctioned off in early November to raise money for the charity.

Kate Leadbeater, Stockport NHS Charity Manager said: "We're really thrilled that Fredison has gone from lighting up the streets of Stockport to supporting our very own Stockport NHS Charity! We're hoping for big bids to support our fabulous projects which are all about enhancing patient care."
