A special thank you to Mill Gate Shopping Centre in Bury, who have raised an amazing £1,184.27 for MedEquip4Kids through the centre’s birthday celebrations and by taking part in the One Great Day event in 2017.

Mill Gate was one of 140 shopping centres across the UK taking part in One Great Day, a series of family and community charity events held throughout June and July to raise money for children’s health charities.

Mill Gate entertained families and shoppers alike with a host of activities including a jazz quartet, face painters, sponsored cycling, rowing and waxing. The management team also walked 25,000 steps a day during July to coincide with the centre’s 25th birthday.

Marie Gribben, centre manager at Mill Gate, says: “One Great Day is about community engagement and raising money for a number of great causes, but it is also a fantastic opportunity for families in the area to get together and enjoy a fun day out whilst spending quality time together.”

The funds raised will help us fund vital medical  equipment and facilities for local hospitals, giving babies and children a better experience of healthcare.

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
