How you can help Backing our appeals could boost your business By working with us as a corporate partner, you can build your brand, improve team spirit, raise your profile and attract new clients. Here’s just a few of the companies who are already supporting Nottingham Hospitals Charity. DC Training & Development Services Ltd organised a gala dinner, raising more than £13,400 to support the Nottingham Children’s British Transplant Games team who are competing in North Lanarkshire in July. The company has raised more than £70,000 to help patients at Nottinghamshire Hospitals during the last seven years. Managing Director Darren Calow’s young son Daniel, who has himself had a transplant, is taking part in the games. British Edible <strong>Pulse</strong>s Association raised more than £11,000 for QMC Neonatal at their annual dinner – inspired by the care of Amaya Ibrahim, born 16 weeks premature and treated at the unit for chronic lung disease. Amaya’s grandfather Paddy Barrett is a member of the Association and he and Amaya’s mum Melanie are keen supporters of our BIG Appeal. Lincolnshire company Inzpire Ltd donated £3,720 for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in recognition and thanks for the care given to the daughter of a staff member. This is the third year running the company has supported the Charity. If your business would like to support Nottingham Hospitals Charity, please call us on 0115 962 7905 or email charity@nuh.nhs.uk Could you volunteer for us? We could not achieve all that we do without the tireless efforts of a team of committed volunteers who give their time to support the Charity. Volunteers help in many ways, from carrying out collections at the theatre to marshalling at marathons and setting up stalls as well as helping our busy calendar of events to run smoothly. We are keen to bring in more volunteers from all cross sections of the community and Charity Assistant Lucy Fisher is working hard to develop voluntary activity across all aspects of our work. Lucy says: “As summer approaches it looks set to be another busy year for Nottingham Hospitals Charity so we are keen to hear from volunteers of all ages, with a wide range of experience and interests, who would like to support our office and community activities. In return, we hope to offer a supportive environment in which you can enhance your skills and feel valued as part of a friendly team, by carrying out a varied role that is stimulating and rewarding.” To find out more call Lucy Fisher on 0115 9627905 or email lucy.fisher@nuh.nhs.uk 10 Follow us on Twitter @NUHCharity
How you can help Lord Mayor champions tiny babies Personal experience of his own children being born prematurely inspired Nottingham’s Lord Mayor, Councillor Mohammed Saghir, to choose Nottingham Hospitals Charity’s Tiny Babies Appeal as one of his nominated charities during his year in office. Councillor Saghir experienced the heartbreak of losing his son at three months old after a premature birth. Both his daughters, now 16 and 26, were also born prematurely. During his tenure as Mayor, Councillor Saghir visited the Neonatal Unit, took part in the Charity’s BIG Appeal launch and hosted a ‘thank you’ afternoon tea for 28 families who raised more than £27,000 for the Neonatal Units to mark World Prematurity Day. Councillor Saghir says: “I wanted to choose a charity that would reflect my personal experience of having a premature baby.” Charity funding is vital in providing state-of-the-art equipment, funding research to improve care for tiny patients and supporting parents and families at a difficult and emotional time. Golf clubs drive to support full spectrum of life Mapperley Golf Club is teeing off to support Nottingham’s hospitals, with both ladies’ and men’s captains choosing Nottingham Hospitals Charity as their charity of the year. Between them they are supporting the whole spectrum of care from premature birth to end of life. The ladies’ team chose the hospital’s Neonatal Unit and the men’s team have chosen Hayward House palliative care centre. Ladies’ captain Maria Timson says: “I wanted to help tiny babies at the beginning of their lives. I also wanted to support a local charity. Nottingham Hospitals Charity allows you to choose exactly where your money will be spent.” Men’s captain Dave Olley chose to support end of life care because both his parents died of cancer and because he volunteers at Hayward House. Dave and team-mates have planned a host of fundraising events including a Charity Golf Day on 30 July, a charity auction and a quiz night. Mapperley is one of several Nottinghamshire golf clubs choosing to support Nottingham Hospitals Charity. Beeston Fields Golf Club raised more than £6,200 and Radliffe on Trent Golf Club recently donated £5,270. If your sports club would like to support Nottingham Hospitals Charity, please call us on 0115 962 7905 or email charity@nuh.nhs.uk Get in touch by emailing charity@nuh.nhs.uk 11
