A special thank you to Mill Gate Shopping Centre in Bury, who have raised an amazing £1,184.27 for MedEquip4Kids through the centre’s birthday celebrations and by taking part in the One Great Day event in 2017.

Mill Gate was one of 140 shopping centres across the UK taking part in One Great Day, a series of family and community charity events held throughout June and July to raise money for children’s health charities.

Mill Gate entertained families and shoppers alike with a host of activities including a jazz quartet, face painters, sponsored cycling, rowing and waxing. The management team also walked 25,000 steps a day during July to coincide with the centre’s 25th birthday.

Marie Gribben, centre manager at Mill Gate, says: “One Great Day is about community engagement and raising money for a number of great causes, but it is also a fantastic opportunity for families in the area to get together and enjoy a fun day out whilst spending quality time together.”

The funds raised will help us fund vital medical  equipment and facilities for local hospitals, giving babies and children a better experience of healthcare.

“Infections of the central nervous system need urgent and appropriate treatment. Most laboratory methods can take from 24 to 48 hours for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and three to seven days for diagnosis of viral meningitis or encephalitis. The new equipment will mean we can get results of these tests in around an hour. We’ll be able to inform the clinicians of a positive result, allowing targeted therapy and reassurance to the patients and families. Just as important is the reporting of negative results, which may enable treatment withdrawal and possibly a shorter hospital stay.”
