Teach 500 Schools about Neurofibromatosis

Thank you so much for your wonderful donations to the “Teach 500 Schools about Neurofibromatosis” campaign. You’ve been fantastic and we could not have asked for a better response with such generous donations. Together, our community has come together once again to help us provide better support services to those living with Neurofibromatosis. Without further ado, here’s a quick update with how the campaign is going:

You are empowering Schools to provide better support for children with NF

With your help, we’ve managed to raise an amazing £1,594 (not including gift aid, and other awards!) to go towards our goal of arming Schools and SENCO’s across the country with the tools they need to improve the lives off all those children living with the complications of NF. In fact, with what we’ve raised so far Karen Cockburn, Charity Director and our Fundraising Manager, Alison Gourlay will be able to attend the RCN School Nurses Conference and Exhibition 2017. Joining them will be Rachel Jones, Specialist Advisor NE & Cumbria, to pass out School Packs to delegates that will include school nurses from all over the UK .

New support packs upon request!

We will be making these school packs available on request to any educational institutions that need one. We will be announcing these packs by the end of the year and looking into further options to make the information available to all. Our goal is that everyone has the support they need so thank you so much for all your help.

Donations still welcome

Our ultimate target is still set at £3,571 and there’s still room to go further, the closer we get to that figure the more schools we could help. Any amount is welcome and by sharing this page and sending the word out we could have a real chance of reaching that number. So once again thank you for your help and here’s to helping children all over the country!
