Fund Raising Events

Thank you for supporting us in 2007. As planned, we endeavoured to streamline our own planned fund raising for the year, never the less we were still involved with 25 events where we either arranged fund raising events ourselves or attended events organised by individuals, companies or organisations who fund raised on our behalf.

Whilst we look forward to the coming year our intention is to streamline further the number of our own events in order that we have more time to assist at the fund raising events, organised by those mentioned above. We see it that we should make ourselves available to assist when they have chosen to raise funds to assist us with our objectives.

We had originally hoped to be able, as the 'Friends', to manage a shop within the Nightingale Macmillan area when we move to the Derby City site but we now find that is not possible for such a small committee/member group to be able to manage a shop for the number of hours required  seven days a week. This is very regrettable since we felt that we could provide a good service to  patients, visitors and staff.  

Our current timetable of fund-raising events for 2008 is as follows and will be updated as further fund raising opportunities are presented to us. As you will note, we will be having more table top sales this year in order to sell the items that have been generously donated to us in recent times since we will not have the same opportunity of selling these items when we move. All proceeds from our events go directly to the supply of additional equipment and services, with the aim of improving the quality of life of those cared for by all the marvellous professionals and volunteers at the Nightingale Macmillan Unit.
