Hello there,
My name is Genesis, and I am reaching out to you as a proud representative of the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (LGT) charity. As a graduate management trainee who previously worked in the Complex Discharge team at University Hospital Lewisham I have seen first-hand the amazing work that our staff do for our patients.
Last September, I ran for the Charity in the London Big Half marathon, and now I am eager to take on the full distance at the Adidas Manchester Marathon on 16 April 2023 to fundraise for our LGT charity. Your support would help us to continue and build upon some of the fantastic work that we have already accomplished.
The LGT charity has made a significant impact in the lives of our patients and staff, and here are just a few examples of what we have accomplished:
- Provided gaming carts at the Children's Day Unit at UHL, which gave young patients a welcomed distraction during tests, procedures, or minor surgery.
- Our Winter Appeal helped purchase winter clothing for patients and presents for children who were in the hospital at UHL and QEH over the festive period, ensuring they are comfortable when returning home.
- Funded a state-of-the-art breast biopsy machine which speeds up the diagnostic process
- Funded a range of new equipment, such as a Swedish birthing chair, to improve patient experience in our maternity services
- Improved rest areas for our valued staff and created wellbeing hubs with dedicated emotional support, particularly important during Covid
- Provided an Activities trolley for our dementia patients on Ward 17 at QEH which helps patients feel less distressed, maintain their sense of time, and helps them sleep and rest better.
There is so much more that we can do, and every donation you make, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and be greatly appreciated.

Together, we can make a difference. #TeamLGT Runs #ManchesterMarathon
