Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. In January, I was given the news that I was successful in securing a place on the Vodafone World of Difference Programme.    What does this mean…   …Every year, Vodafone choose 500 people across the country to work for a charity of their choice.  I will be working for my chosen charity MediCinema for two months and I am very excited to have been given this opportunity and to be helping such a worthy cause.   Who are MediCinema…   …MediCinema was established 15 years ago to bring the joy and escapism of cinema to long-term patients, parents and carers in hospitals throughout the UK. By creating a therapeutic cinema experience, MediCinema aims to enrich the lives of patients many of whom are critically ill and spending extensive periods of time in hospital.  MediCinema currently operate at St Thomas’ Hospital – London, The Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow and Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle.    Two movie screenings are held each week showcasing the latest blockbuster movies.  I have had the pleasure of attending the screenings and seeing the magic as it happens.    What will I be doing…   …Fundraising.  My planned fundraising initiatives include: -          A gig with my 9 piece funk and soul band on Saturday 14 April (which you are ALL invited to) -          Approaching new corporate sponsors -          Approaching actors and actresses in London -     Two cake sales at NHS London  -          Working with local schools -          And more….   If you can think of anyone or anything that may help me along my journey I would be extremely grateful.   My Mission….   …MediCinema did not want to give me a target.  For them the importance was placed on making the most of my experience and help towards raising awareness of the MediCinema cause.  I however pushed for a target and they hinted towards £6000 so this is now my official target.  To look at it as a whole number is quite scary but to break it down against my various initiatives seems easier to handle…wish me luck!   All money raised will go to MediCinema, more specifically to help toward building cinemas in five planned hospitals across the country.  I have sent up my JustGiving page and I hope you will sponsor me.  I accept £1 up to £1,000,000…. J… every little counts.   If you would like any more information then please do get in touch.  I am passionate about the cause and I hope to make small steps to create a big difference...all in two months.     Thanks for taking the time to read this.   Angela     Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
