Our Green Impact

environmental impact

Our Fundraising Team are proud members of the Green Impact scheme and we have been working hard over the past year to achieve our Bronze Accreditation for improving our sustainability within our workplace and operations. 

Some of our key improvements have been:

  • Creating a new range of eco-fundraising ideas and carbon neutral fundraising events
  • Sourcing new events cycling and running vests made from recycled bottle tops
  • Switching all of our postal packaging to recyclable packaging
  • Sourcing new environmentally friendly suppliers for our Fundraising Hub, Online Shop and office
  • Asking our supporters to return, reuse or recycle the fundraising resources we send out
  • Embracing digital/virtual ways of working to reduce physical travel and paper consumption
  • Encouraging our staff to utilise cycling schemes and use public transport to reduce their carbon footprint
  • Reusing and recycling our Trust Christmas decorations

You can read more about the Green Impact scheme and their fantastic work here. To find out more about our green fundraising please click here.

    Transforming experiences using Virtual Reality – Matthew’s story

    Being in hospital is an incredibly worrying time for our sick kids and this anxiety can mean our expert doctors and nurses sometimes struggle to perform simple procedures. A number of successful trials across our hospital has proved using virtual reality (VR) technology can significantly decrease stress levels and reduce discomfort during minor medical procedures.

  • Thank You For Listening Appeal

    Help to transform lives for just £8.67 per month. This works out at just £2.00 per week spread out over the year – cheaper than a cup of tea or coffee!
