Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

With all the great work the NHS are doing in these bizarre times along with my partner on the front line I’m waiting to raise money for Rays a Smile which is a campaign to improve pediatric faculties within the radiology department. Having children myself I know scary hospital visits can be for children and parents.

Almost  all patients treated by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, either as an inpatient or outpatient, are referred for imaging. More than 20,000 children and young people are imaged each year.

It is believed that a brighter, more child-friendly environment will benefit all patients, including some adults who find imaging difficult or stressful. They also believe it will speed up scan times because people will be less anxious, and provide them with better quality 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
