Fundraising
The Trust is continually looking for support as the cost of running the clinic is £10,000.00 per year. This is a relatively small amount when you consider this covers the cost of medicine, administration, the salary of a doctor, nurse and mid-wife and all electricity bills and other running costs.
2007 - For the health clinic construction, the Trust managed to raise £17,000.00 in 6 months. This was through a huge effort including car washes at Ransoms, Bag Packs at Checkers, and a detox day at Harbour galleries. We held a Valentines Ball at the Pomme D’or which raised £2500.00. We also had a Raffle on the 3rd March for which the top prize was a trip for 2 to france in a private plane. There was also a prize donated from Durrell wildlife of a years adoption of an orangutan named Jaya.
Thanks to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make the clinic possible - Jon Richardson, Christa Roberts, Anita Brown, Ian and Kathryn Brown, Dave Ferey, Rachel Hall, Sue Gillespie, Nina Cornish, Dave West, Bob and Shirley Randel, Kirsten Miller and John Campbell.
Special thanks and well done should also go to Nicola Atkinson and Ashley Vardon who both ran marathons on behalf of the Trust!! Thank you!!
We also held a Christmas raffle and must thank NSEW, Laneez and Expressions photography for providing great prizes.
2008 - The Trust would like to invest in an ambulance to pick up patients from remote villages who cannot afford transport or are too sick to get public transport. We also want to provide the clinic with an ultra-sound machine for expectant mothers and provide more pre-natal and anti-natal care.
We are running a 500 Club this year. For only £30.00 for the entire year - you enter a draw to win £500.00 every month! So for only £30.00 you will be in with 12 chances of winning £500.00 - plus you help us raise funds for an ultra-sound machine and an ambulance for the clinic! Please download the form below.
We will also be holding the Valentines Ball again in 2008 due to the huge success of last years ball. We plan to have a DJ, magician, chocolate fountain and lots of great prizes to ensure a great night. Thanks to all those who have offered great prizes so far including the Mayfair Hotel, Seasons Boutique, the Boathouse and IQ. THANK YOU!!!!
