NatWest is giving local charities all over the country the opportunity to make others aware of what they do, and for the public to vote for the charities that they would like to be in with a chance of winning up to £6000 from the RBS Group
After thinking seriously about it for over a year, I have recently signed up to join SERV Hampshire - this charity provides a voluntary out of hours service to local hospitals who need to transport blood, organs or human milk. The NHS does not have a service to do this outside of 'normal office hours', using the SERV volunteers saves hospitals having to spend out money for taxis and couriers - meaning this money can be spent on more important things.
I have a real phobia of needles, so will never be able to give blood, I also hate hospitals, getting up in the middle of the night and I don't seem to have the time to fart at the moment, let alone 'do charity work'
However this is something I have wanted to do for a long time. My role with the charity will be as a volunteer rider, on standby on designated nights to make emergency, urgent and routine deliveries as required - all expenses will be covered from my own pocket.
SERV Hampshire have registered for a Community Force award, and I would ask if you would be kind enough to give up 1 minute of your time to vote for them on the following link:-
http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/5542 (http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/5542)
Extra funding will help this charity to run and maintain their existing service, and expand to offer the service to more hospitals.
Please note the following:-
You can vote for more than one charity (so if you have already voted for another one you can still vote for SERV Hampshire)
You do not need to make any donations
You will need to register if you have not already done so
This whole process should take no longer than a minute, unless you read/type very s l o w l y!
Many thanks for reading
