Green Pastures
(UK, 297937) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 297937) The Shepherd’s Purse is our bursary fund and used solely to support residents who are funded by the local authority. The Home is run on a ‘not for profit’ basis with a strong ethos of caring for any elderly person in need residential nursing care. We strongly believe that the elderly deserve the best care we can provide and that they should be treated with dignity and respect at the end of their lives. A fee is set each year by the Board which will allow us to break even financially whilst providing good quality, attentive care in a homely setting. Local Authority funding is now unrealistically low and falls well below this ‘break even’ fee. Without the support of the bursary many residents would not be able to live at Green Pastures. We don’t want to turn anyone away because of funding. The Shepherd’s Purse Fund helps us to keep our doors open to everyone. This year we need to raise £30,000 and we anticipate the need increasing now year by year. All the money we receive via Virgin Money Giving will go into the Shepherd’s Purse fund and be used to support needy residents.

NRSV
(UK, 27315546) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Het Rett syndroom heeft een incidentie van 1 op de 10.000 tot 23.000 geboren meisjes, het is extreem zeldzaam bij jongens. Het is beschreven bij alle rassen en etnische groepen. In Nederland zijn op dit moment ruim 250 meisjes met het Rett syndroom bekend. Het is een ontwikkelingsstoornis van het zenuwstelsel; met name de hersenstam. De symptomen treden op na en periode van ogenschijnlijk normale ontwikkeling, vanaf een leeftijd van 6-18 maanden. De ontwikkeling vertraagd en een periode van verlies van motorische vaardigheid en communicatie volgt, met in vrijwel alle gevallen volledig verlies van spraak en loopvermogen. In deze periode ontstaat vaak onregelmatigheid in de ademhaling. Na deze regressie volgt een stabielere periode, waarin apraxie (het onvermogen te handelen), epilepsie en scoliose meer een rol gaan spelen. In deze periode kan verbetering van motoriek en communicatie bereikt worden. Uiteindelijk kan de mobiliteit terugvallen als gevolg van spierzwakte, stijfheid en toenemende scoliose. De ernst van de beperkingen kan variëren, waarbij de intensiteit van de symptomen per individu moeilijk te voorspellen is. De gemiddelde levensverwachting wordt verwacht boven de 40 jaar te zijn, hoewel dit door het relatief korte bestaan van de diagnose niet met zekerheid bekend is. Overal waar we Rett-meisjes/vrouwen schrijven, worden ook Rett-jongens/mannen bedoeld.

The Cormac Trust
(UK, XR84748) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00The Cormac Trust was set up after the sudden death of Cormac McAnallen in the morning of 2nd March 2004. Cormac’s death came as a shock to people not only in his local area, but also to people all over Ulster and Ireland, as he was a well-known sportsman of exceptional fitness and of ostensibly perfect health. It was largely due to the death of Cormac, Irish youth rugby international John McCall and other subsequent cases that the Irish public became aware of the issue of sudden cardiac death among young people. From the time of Cormac’s death the McAnallen family was keen to direct public attention to these cardiac conditions that cause such sudden deaths. Hence the family, with the assistance of the Tyrone County Board of the GAA, set up the Cormac Trust. The following are its four objects: To raise awareness of sudden cardiac deaths in young people, and its causes; To promote cardiac screening for young people, especially for athletes; To provide education and information to raise awareness at government level and among other authorities as to the value of providing facilities for the screening of young people; To provide automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for sports clubs in the local region, for the use of the entire local community, and to train people in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of defibrillators.
