Scannappeal’s 35th Birthday!

Scannappeal, a local charity based in Buckinghamshire, is preparing for a year of celebrations as the charity marks 35 years of fundraising.

Scannappeal raises funds to purchase life-saving equipment for Buckinghamshire NHS hospitals including Stoke Mandeville, Wycombe, Amersham and community hospitals. Since it began in 1987, it has raised over £15m and funded equipment in every major department in the hospitals it supports.

35 years is a fantastic milestone to reach, but only made possible thanks to the wonderful support of the local community. Whilst they have so many milestones and memories to look back on over 35 years of fundraising success, they are asking supporters to help them create some new memories. They are now asking you to join in the celebrations.

Over the course of the year there will be an incredible 35 events hosted by the charity, which they are asking you to sign up and enjoy. There will be something for everyone from open gardens to music and dancing events and their newly launched Hospital Hike. Events include:
Hospital Hike – the new walking challenge uses footpaths and bridleways around Bucks to pass each hospital site Scannappeal benefits.
Secret Cinema – register now to be the first to hear about this exciting outdoor film screening and highly unique location, not to be missed!
Stretcher Challenge – going back to where it began but with an 80’s themed revival. The stretcher challenge promises to be a day to remember.
