Cadets deliver presents to Birmingham Children's Hospital
CPO SCC Dean Marshall| | December 6, 2008
The cadets and staff of Rugby Sea Cadets this weekend presented Birmingham Children’s Hospital with over £100 of gifts for sick children. The cadets, aged from 12 to 18 live in tand around the Rugby area decided to donate the gifts as part of their community projects. The cadets wrote to local businesses asking for donations to purchase the gifts. The gifts were presented to Malcolm Faulkner the Community Fundraising Manager for Birmingham Children’s Hospital and he said that the presents will be given to the children who are too sick to go home over Christmas and will be given to Santa Clause when he visits the sick children on Christmas Day.
Birmingham Children’s Hospital provides specialist child and adolescent care for children within the UK and Ireland and is internationally recognised in specialist areas including liver transplantation, cardiac surgery and neonatal surgery. Special thanks must go to the local businesses who donated gifts, these were; Joto, Boots, The Range in Coventry and Deichmann shoes who donated all the gift boxes.
The project was Co-ordinated by Leading Cadet Amy Suddens and overseen by Sub Lieutenant (SCC) Stuart Glover RNR and Sergeant (SCC) Sian Scholes, two of the unit’s senior members of staff.
