I've raised £8000 to share books & personalised thank you messages with NHS staff fighting COVID-19.
Organised by MiNO Project
Story
What is the MiNO Project?
"MiNO" stands for "Message in a Novel": we donate copies of your favourite books with kind messages inside, written by you.
Check out our YouTube campaign video made in collaboration with Imperial College.
Where does my donation go?
We're crowdfunding to share 800 books (with 800 personalised thank you messages) with UK hospitals. These books are gifts for NHS staff working on the front line of COVID-19.
How do I participate?
1) Donate any amount you'd like; we're so thankful for any level of support!
2) Email info@minoproject.org with your thank you message for an NHS staff member; we'll hand-write your message into a book and email you a photo before the book is shipped out for donation :-)
Participating hospitals & bookshops
Your donations will fund book donations for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, and Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
Hospitals that will receive your books & thank you messages include: Guy's Hospital, St. Thomas' Hospital, Evelina Children's Hospital, Charing Cross Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, Warneford Hospital, Abingdon Community Hospital, Bicester Community Hospital, & many more.
100% of donations will be used to purchase books from independent bookshops, to support small local businesses during COVID-19.
