Fundraising.We receive approximately one third of our core funding from the NHS but we need to find the other two-thirds, around £70,000, from fundraising and donations every year. Every penny counts and we rely on the support and goodwill of local people, companies, organisations and trusts to help us achieve this. If you can help in any way we would love to hear from you. So many people are already helping. Nick Chadwick (pictured below), 36 from Pentre Halkyn, has handed over a cheque for £2,672 to The North Wales Chrysalis Trust by taking part in the London Marathon earlier in the year. Nick who is an engineer at Dailycer in Deeside and a member of the Deestriders Running Club has a daughter Eve, now 18 months who was born at Glan Clwyd Hospital with undiagnosed Down’s Syndrome. He said: “Eve is wonderful and now we can’t imagine things being any different but when she was born we were in a daze and wondered how we would cope. You sometimes feel like you are only talking to doctors and nurses so to have a service like Chrysalis is fantastic as you know there is always someone there for you to lean on through such a stressful time and help find some of the answers you are looking for.” Chrysalis is extremely grateful to Natalie Finley (pictured above right) who has raised £800 by doing a sky dive. |
