Spring is here, bringing with it the chance for new opportunities, connections and fun as the days gets brighter and warmer.
This is why Black Country Brighter Lives, the charitable arm of Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, is proud to launch the ‘Spring Into Action’ campaign to call on people across the Black Country to be fundraising heroes.
Throughout the months of April and May, the team at the charity are calling on Trust staff and people in the Black Country to take on a fundraising challenge.
From a sponsored walk to a bake a sale, there are lots of ways people can spring into action. The team has also produced a fundraising toolkit to provide some tips and inspiration.
Money raised through the campaign will directly go to projects that support patients and staff such as providing therapeutic activities on wards, supporting research, boosting the wellbeing of our staff and enhancing the buildings and grounds where we provide care.
The team at Black Country Brighter Lives are also on hand to provide help and advice to put a spring into any fundraising efforts.
Manisha Patel, Charity Engagement Officer at BCHFT, said: “Taking part in our Spring Into Action campaign is a great way to set yourself a goal this Spring, while making a real difference in our Black Country community.
“Whether you are a fundraising pro or this is your first time taking on a charity challenge, your efforts will be hugely appreciated by Black Country Brighter Lives and the patients, staff, carers and projects we support.
“You are not alone either, we are here to provide advice so your challenge can be as successful as possible.”
