JMC Charity Challenge
Fundraising for MedEquip4Kids
Story
Team JMC is aiming to raise over £8,000 for MedEquip4Kids to help them to provide critical paediatric medical equipment and facilities for hospitals and community health teams in the Manchester area. We hope to exceed our target within our FY13 financial year that starts 1st July 2012 and ends on the 30th June 2013. Once the target is reached we will work with MedEquip4Kids to identify urgent equipment needs within the Manchester area that we can satisfy with the funds raised. To see how we are getting on with the challenge and to see the total we have raised so far visit www.teamjmc.it or www.justgiving.com/teams/teamjmc
About MedEquip4Kids:
MedEquip4Kids works with medical staff, community nurses and other registered charities to provide equipment and improve facilities in hospitals. Its policy is to fund items known to improve the care provided to children, but not readily available within the NHS’ limited budgets.
Increasingly, the larger hospitals employ fundraisers to secure extra funds the NHS cannot provide, but smaller hospitals and community teams do not have access to a fundraising officer. It is common to find nurses and paramedics fundraising in their spare time and during their working day.
MedEquip4Kids believes these staff should be focusing on caring for children and the charity’s aim is to fundraise on their behalf. The money raised is spent directly on the items they request and no money is passed on to any third party.
All donations will be gratefully received.
