Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust Charitable Fund
(UK, 1051173) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,252.98
(UK, 1051173) Charitable donations make a real difference to improve the health and care services provided by Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C). But we have great ambitions to be able to do much more. Last year our Charitable Fund received donations totalling more than £70,000. Our aim is simple: to more than triple the annual income by March 2015. That's why we are creating a new HealthCare Pioneer Fund. This will be part of our existing Charitable Fund but the focus will be on maximising the community element of the Trust's work. The Fund will support new and innovative services like a sensory garden in a respite care home for adults with severe learning disabilities, online speech therapy help for first-time parents so that as their babies learn to speak they can spot any problems before they become serious, or breast-feeding aids so that mothers can care for their babies in the best way possible. Just three of the exciting things that you could help provide in ways that are just not possible with NHS funding alone. You might make a donation yourself. You might introduce the HealthCare Pioneer Fund to your friends. You might put together a small fundraising team to take part in a sponsored event. Whichever way you choose to support the Fund, as a HealthCare Pioneer you will be enabling adults and children in towns and villages across Norfolk to experience the very best local health and care services. Please e-mail us (there's a link on the left) so that we can thank you personally for your support and keep you updated with how and where your donation has been used.

Transplant Patients Trust
(UK, 1007809) Browse events
YTD Raised: £2,579.00Rather stupidly we've decided that we are fit enough to run a half marathon on behalf of the Transplant Patients Trust. There are approx. 20 people running (some willingly, some un-willingly) but they have decided to do it for a good cause. Earlier this year we helped the family of a very poorly little girl who has been awaiting a heart transplant since January of this year. Her family, unable to leave her side had no choice but to give up work and consequently are struggling financially. We helped. Without the kind generosity (and sacrifices) of our runners and you the people supporting us we would be unable to provide this kind of help. Please give generously - whatever you can. Any amounts will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks The Transplant Patients Trust xx
