Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

COLERAINE POSTIES  TEAM UP WITH  COLERAINE F.C./ACADEMY  TO    GIVE   BLOOD    FOR  CHARITY

Up to fifty postmen and women from the Coleraine area, together with members and supporters of Coleraine Football Club / Academy, will be among local people giving blood later this month. 

The postmen are involved in a unique fund-raising blood donation session, the idea of postman, Chris Ramsey, who led the way in getting the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service to bring their van to the area for a joint Royal Mail company visit with Coleraine Football Club. With limited space at the Delivery Office, Royal Mail teamed up with Coleraine Football Club who kindly offered the use of the Showgrounds to park the large Blood Transfusion van. It is hoped that this initiative will generate interest from other businesses in the area to host similar events.

The sessions will take place on Tuesday, 23 June from 2:30 – 4:30pm and from 5:45 – 8:00pm and are open to anyone in the area who wishes to donate blood. 

The Royal Mail employees have been gaining support through sponsorship forms for the past few weeks and hope to raise a few hundred pounds for their chosen charity Barnardo’s.  

“I am delighted with the response from our postmen and women to this initiative which will benefit not only Barnardo’s but also the community at large through the blood donated. We are extremely grateful to all those who have sponsored us or who have and continue to support us in any way. All monies raised will go straight to Barnardo’s in N. Ireland”.

Barnardo’s works with approximately 115,000 children UK-wide 9,500 of whom live in in over 394 specialised projects in local communities across the . This includes work with children affected by today’s most urgent issues: poverty, homelessness, disability, bereavement and abuse.

"Being part of two community orientated organisations such Royal Mail and Coleraine FC Academy I feel this event is a perfect opportunity to give something back to community. By taking part in the blood donor sessions and / or by donating to Banardos we may just improve or even save peoples lives".

So please sponsor us now!
