You're Amazing (Summer/Autumn 2017) | Page 10

Thanks to Southwark News Southwark News came together with the local community to raise an amazing £100,000 for Evelina London. The money will provide new ventilators for premature babies as well as an infant warming system which provides heat for babies that are too sick to maintain their own temperature. The money will also provide a new intensive care cot that mimics the womb and the Evelina Hospital School will be able to hire a professional storyteller who will work Chris Mullany , Southwark Ne ws Managing Dire with children to build their ctor, with Mar ian Ridley, Director of Evel ina London communications skills. Did you see we recently launched the Evelina London Book Club? Some of our very sick children can’t eat chocolate and we didn’t want them to feel left out this Easter, so we asked for donations of new books. We’re trying to fill a library with books that will help parents and their children deal with difficult situations, feelings or looking different. You can donate to the Evelina London Book Club any time of the year – read more at supportevelina.org.uk/bookclub #BooksForEvelina We’re very excited that Berkeley Homes SE have chosen Evelina London as their charity of the year for the next two years. They chose us after a staff vote and hope to put their fundraising towards our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, as a colleague’s child was treated there. Could we be your company’s next Charity of the Year? Please get in touch at [email protected] to find out more. 10
