Bollywood Ball raises £2,000 to benefit children in hospital

A huge thank you to MedEquip4Kids supporters Julie, Sal and their friends for organising a Bollywood Ball last December, which raised an amazing £2,000 to help us provide essential equipment for children in hospital.

Over a hundred guests attended the sparkling event at Bowden Rugby Club. As well as a festive and colourful atmosphere, guests were treated to a glass of bubbly on arrival, a delicious curry buffet, mince pies, a raffle with great prizes, and a fabulous set from DJ Irf.

Next up in our social calendar is a Burns Night and Ceildh this Saturday 27^th January, 5.45pm for a 6.30 start at Lancashire County Cricket Club. Please contact us on 0161 798 1600 or email info@medequip4kids.org.uk for further details.

“Infections of the central nervous system need urgent and appropriate treatment. Most laboratory methods can take from 24 to 48 hours for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and three to seven days for diagnosis of viral meningitis or encephalitis. The new equipment will mean we can get results of these tests in around an hour. We’ll be able to inform the clinicians of a positive result, allowing targeted therapy and reassurance to the patients and families. Just as important is the reporting of negative results, which may enable treatment withdrawal and possibly a shorter hospital stay.”
