Ahead of the European Music Awards taking place this weekend, MTV has announced it has made a major investment into a new Manchester facility.
MTV’s parent company Paramount Global will be providing a donation towards the creation of the MediCinema facility, which will be located within Manchester University NHS Trust’s Oxford Road hospital campus. Created by the MediCinema charity, the facility is provided at no cost to patients or the NHS. When not used as a cinema, the space will double-up as an enhanced facility for staff training and education services, as well as a lecture theatre.
“In the 30th year of MTV EMAs, Paramount is delighted to work with MediCinema and the NHS Trust and charity partners, to channel Paramount’s storied cinematic history into a space that can support the wellbeing of patients and their families.”
