Seamer and Irton Primary School Pupils have raised a fantastic £1,146.11 for the Urgent & Emergency Care Appeal at Scarborough Hospital by collecting pennies and filling money boxes.
Pupils were asked to take home money boxes, designed by Alex Anderson from Homebird House in Scarborough, depicting the new Urgent and Emergency Care Build, and collect what they could over a few months.
Maya Liversidge, Charity Community Fundraiser, said:
“I cannot thank the school enough for inviting me in to talk about the developments at Scarborough Hospital and how York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity is making a difference. The pupils really took onboard the information, and this shows with the amazing amount they have raised.”
“This appeal is about helping to build a healthcare development fit for the future of Scarborough and surrounding communities, for generations to come - so it’s exciting and reassuring that the younger generation are supporting and getting behind what will be a facility that their family, friends and themselves may need at some time in their lives, and indeed as the largest employer in the area, may work there at some point in the future."
York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity is encouraging people to get involved with the Urgent & Emergency Care Appeal and raise funds to help to make the experiences of patients and families in hospital the best it can be.
The charity launched a £400,000 fundraising appeal in May to help enhance patient care and experience and support staff wellbeing in the new Urgent and Emergency Care Centre at Scarborough Hospital.
The appeal will help provide the extras over and above the funding allocated to the scheme. Plans include a specialist mental health crisis room, gardens, artwork and wayfinding as well as two ensuite relatives’ rooms within the new critical care department.
Maya Liversidge says that if any other school would like to have a talk and take the money boxes for the next academic year, they can get in touch on 01723 236210 or email maya.liversidge@nhs.net
