Breathe Easy, the charity attached to the respiratory department of St Mary’s Hospital, are holding a Spring Fair at Newport Parish Hall in Town Lane on Saturday 30th May to help raise funds for a brand new ultrasound scanner.
The charity is hoping to raise money from the event – due to be held from 11:00 until 15:00 – to go towards purchasing an ultrasound scanner to be used by the Respiratory Department in their new Appley Ward, which is due to open shortly.
Breathe Easy have recently been able to purchase two new treadmills and an exercise bike for the rehabilitation gym to replace the well-worn equipment.
Visitors to the Spring Fair can expect cakes, white elephant, tombola, children’s games, cards, books, jewllery a raffle and much more.
As you can see from the enclosed poster there will be a variety of stalls there and we would be very grateful for support at this event.
Breathe Easy was started in 2000 by Respiratory Nurse Specialist Sarah Kearney, with the main aim to offer help and support to all Islanders suffering from any kind of lung complaint, ranging from childhood asthma to lung cancer. Breathe Easy carries out a variety of fundraising events throughout the year as well as exercise classes in the gym for people who have been referred to them. Keep Active groups in the wider community have been formed for the growing number of people who are realising how much their health is improving by exercising under the care of BLF instructor, Andy Savage.
