Cairn Technology supports CHSF with Halloween Fundraiser

/in /by

Cairn Technology’s staff got creative in the kitchen this October and magicked up some amazing Halloween treats for a freaky fundraising fuddle.

All monies raised went to the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF), taking Cairn Technology to a fundraising total of over £3,800 since starting to donate in November 2021.

We are very proud to be supporting this amazing charity, as it provides life-saving medical equipment for the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit (LCHU), as well as parent accommodation for families, and vital ward resources.

In addition, the CHSF also funds staff training, scientific research, and new clinical roles.

We have a particularly strong personal connection with the charity, as one of our staff members has a daughter who was treated at the Heart Unit.

Why help this children’s charity?

Every year the charity supports over 23,000 congenital heart disease patients, heart families and NHS Staff across Yorkshire, Humberside, Northeast Lincolnshire and North Derbyshire.

In addition, around 350 patients a year have open heart surgery at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit and around 700 babies, children and adults have interventional procedures such as pacemakers, catheters and stents.

Every child who has open heart surgery at Leeds receives a teddy called Katie Bear, a medal and a certificate from CHSF.

So, if you are looking to support a children’s charity, this one should definitely be at the top of your list. And there are so many ways that you can get involved!

To get started, why not  order a free fundraising pack which will give you plenty of fundraising ideas.

Here at Cairn Technology, we are delighted to have raised £2,300 for the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) since starting to donate in November 2021.

We are very proud to be supporting this amazing charity, as it provides life-saving medical equipment for the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit (LCHU), as well as parent accommodation for families, and vital ward resources.

In addition, the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund also funds staff training, scientific research, and new clinical roles.

Major requests for funding are reviewed by the board of trustees, which has awarded over £10 million in grants to the LCHU and the region’s supporting hospitals, helping countless congenital heart disease patients and their families.

Why and how we support CHSF

We have a strong personal connection with the charity, as one of our staff members has a daughter who was treated at the Heart Unit.

We will be funding vital equipment for the charity, as well as making contributions throughout the year to Bella’s INR home testing kit.

These kits reduce stress and allow a patient to test their blood levels themselves at home without missing school for hospital appointments.

Why help this children’s charity?

CHSF are wholly funded by donations from the public and business. So far, those donations have enabled the charity to help over 17,000 babies, children and adults living with congenital heart disease (CHD) each year.

So, if you are looking to support a children’s charity, this one should definitely be at the top of your list. And there are so many ways that you can get involved!

To get started, why not order a free fundraising pack which will give you plenty of fundraising ideas. Or if you already have your fundraising idea, you will need to register.
