Today we’re very excited to introduce you to the new MedEquip4Kids website, which includes a sleek new logo and updated strapline with stylish graphics and font. You’ll see that our mascot Pip has also had a makeover for 2022! A massive thank you goes to Gary, Paul and the team at Cultivate Creative in St Helens for revitalising our charity brand and for vastly improving the layout and functionality of our site. Why not have a look around the website now and read about all our latest projects, stories and news?

As a small charity, we try to ensure that as much of our funding as possible goes directly to support children’s healthcare, meaning we don’t have much left over to invest in our website, so we were delighted when we were offered a grant towards the new site from the VINCI Foundation. The partnership with the Foundation was achieved through our corporate sponsor Nuvia, a nuclear specialist firm which is part of the VINCI Group.

Chris Medlock, Corporate Communications Manager at Nuvia says: “Following the award of funding through the VINCI Foundation, it has been an absolute pleasure supporting MedEquip4Kids with the development of their new website. I have seen first-hand the excellent projects and activities they support, the positive impact in supporting the health of children and babies and the incredible mental health workshops they do through the Hummingbird Project.”

A special mention also goes to Mark Evans and his 10-year-old twins Ruben and Elena for introducing us to Nuvia and facilitating our VINCI Foundation application. Mark and his family have been fundraising for us for two years and are enabling us to provide a wireless heart monitor for the birth centre at Warrington Hospital to help keep mum and baby safe during labour and birth.

“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.”
