The Bling Fling Charities
All monies raised at Bling Fling
4 will be split between two charities.
1. Breast Cancer Support at ARI
It was the intention of Bling Fling to help fund a brand new Breast Cancer Care Unit at ARI. However, due to the very recent decision to relocate all Breast Cancer Services at ARI to Ward 30, it may be at least 12 months before an appropriate location can be finalised for the new centre. After much discussion, we decided to ask Prof Heys and his team to ring fence the funds already donated for the Centre last year and use them for the new Centre at Ward 30.
In the meantime, there is so much support needed into the research of the causes, and treatment of breast cancer that makes our efforts just as vital this year however our donations are best used. We have asked Prof Heys to identify an appropriate research project, or piece of equipment and decide where he feels Bling Fling can make the most difference to those being treated with breat cancer at the moment. We will update you as soon as this has been finalised.
2. To help fund a range of social outings, activities and specialist equipment for Archway.
Archway offers respite care for over 200 children and adults with learning disabilities throughout Aberdeen and the North East. Outings help to build confidence, self esteem, social and interpersonal skills and help ensure they remain part of and not isolated from the local community. It will also help fund the purchase of special equipment including hoists, shower trolleys and beds.
