By Health Tree Foundation fundraiser for new Scunthorpe A&E
The Health Tree Foundation is asking members of the public to spare 10p in order to raise funds for much-needed changes to Scunthorpe’s A&E.
The foundation has worked out that if every adult in North and North East Lincolnshire gives just 10p, they could raise over £30,000.
Donations could go towards changes such as:
- Mobile gaming units and interactive floors to help keep our younger patients amused while they’re waiting to be seen
- FREE mobile phone charging facilities to keep you entertained and in touch with your loved ones
- Sky Inside artificial skylight panels to help provide a more pleasant focal point for patients in our pediatric and resuscitation cubicles
- Screens that can be used as TVs and digital information screens.
The cost of installing all this in the new Emergency Departments that are being built in Scunthorpe is just £35,000 and it’s all been picked out by Emergency Department staff based on what they see in A&E every day.
“These additional enhancements will make their next visit easier – whether that’s by helping to distract or entertain younger patients or something as simple as being able to charge their phone.
“Please get behind this appeal and donate what you can or organise an event to raise funds. Let’s make these new A&Es the best they can be!”
If you want to organise an event, please contact the Health Tree Foundation via hello@healthtreefoundation.org.uk and they will provide details and a fundraising pack.
