🌈Reach 1000 🌈 was inspired by our children wanting to do something to help COVID-19 sufferers 

The aim is for children to Reach 1000 bounces (or activity of their choice) in return for donations from their friends and family so that together we can Reach £1000 to help our local hospitals.

Bailey (Year 7) from Bower Park Academy, Kayleigh (Year 6) & Jamie (Year 5) from Clockhouse Primary School and Kyla (Year 4) from Parklands Junior School have each completed their 1000 bounces and donations of support are flooding in … Now they want children from their schools and others across the borough to get involved.

It’s simple

• Ask your child/children to choose what they want to do (1000 bounces, jumps, skips, steps, kick ups, 1000 key taps on a piano, words in a book, maybe a combination of them all. Please be creative to suit your child’s ability)
• Cheer them all the way, take pictures and videos, join in with them, laugh and have fun, make memories, rest if you need to, do some each day … until they 🌈Reach1000🌈
• Celebrate their success with them and thank them from us for helping
• Make your donation on the JustGiving page (remember friends and family can donate too) When donating you can remain anonymous if you wish but it would be great if you could tell us what your child did and what school they are from  in the comments
• Please share the link to all your friends to ensure we can get as many people involved as we can …. how many schools we can get involved?
• Please Note : We may mention on social media how people and what schools are taking part but we will not share names of children or parents as we do not have permission to do so
• You might choose to share your child’s success and pictures on social media but we will not share these as again we do not have your permission to do so

All proceeds of 🌈  Reach 1000 🌈 will be going to the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Team at Barking Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (King George & Queen's Hospital) who are in urgent need of vital equipment to guide the rehabilitation process of post COVID-19 patients. Amongst the list of equipment required are a number of pulse oximeters and stopwatches.

These pieces of equipment will enable therapists to monitor patient’s oxygen levels, heart rate and recovery times - parameters which in turn can be used to guide the safety and efficiency of the rehabilitation process.

The portable pulse oximeters are ideal as they sit comfortably on the patients finger and enable monitoring throughout the whole treatment session. A set of pulse oximeters and stopwatches  will cost just over £1000 so please help us 🌈Reach1000🌈
