To celebrate its 30th anniversary, The Medway Hospital Charity is rolling out its Thirty at 30 campaign to raise £30,000 to buy 30 new wheelchairs for Medway Maritime Hospital – and we need your help to keep it moving!
Wheelchairs, which cost £1,000 each, make a huge difference in helping patients get to appointments comfortably and on time.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps us move closer to our goal...
Following feedback from the hospital’s Patient Experience Team that a shortage of wheelchairs was causing delays and stress for patients and their loved ones, the charity funded 30 wheelchairs earlier this year. But with rising demand and a bustling hospital environment more wheelchairs are needed at more entrances across the site so patients can access them easily.
Donna Law, Head of The Medway Hospital Charity, said: “Being able to easily find and use a wheelchair can make a huge difference — not just for patients, but for their loved ones and our staff. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us move closer to our goal and improves the experience for everyone who walks through our doors.”
Business, school or community group?
Whether you’re a business, school, community group or generous individual, donating means you can suggest a name for one of the new wheelchairs. Once the £1,000 target is reached for each chair, a panel will shortlist the names for a Facebook poll, with followers of the charity’s page voting for their favourite.
If your name is chosen it will be proudly displayed on the chair and featured across the hospital charity’s social media. Plus, you’ll be invited to pose for a photo with your named chair – a lasting legacy of your support.
*Any name considered inappropriate will not be entered into the competition.
