Schools

The MedEquip4Kids’ schools programme is called Get Active with Pip. We have a team of schools presenters who visit primary schools across the north of England speaking to the pupils about the work of the charity and the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices.

Our team of schools presenters deliver a 20-minute age-specific assembly to the children about the work of the charity and how keeping fit and active can set them well on the way to a long and healthy lifestyle.

Following the presentation, the children will be asked to take part in a Walk4Kids event that will take place in school approximately two weeks later. As well as benefiting themselves from the event, they will be raising much needed funds for paediatric equipment and facilities in the areas local hospitals and community.

The children will also be asked to obtain donations from family and friends, which will be used by MedEquip4Kids to fund paediatric healthcare facilities at local hospitals.

Our schools presenters will come along to the Walk4Kids event, to support the children, collect the monies, leave rewards for participation and to create a photo opportunity for the school and local press.
