The Valley Hospital Charity (the in-house charity of Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust) based at Darent Valley Hospital, has been a BetterPoints charity since the Get Active in Ebbsfleet challenge began in 2018.
Over the years, participants have been able to donate their points to this great local cause while getting active.
Mark Cullen, Community Fundraising Manager, explained how BetterPoints donations have made a real difference to the charity and the work they do.
Here is what is said about working in partnership with BetterPoints and the effect it has had.
"BetterPoints has had a profoundly positive effect on Valley Hospital Charity.
Not only has BetterPoints provided a healthy incentive to get active, but also the ability to donate the points to our charity. The points we receive have helped to fund our charitable purchases and projects, which has been supremely beneficial.
A huge thank you to BetterPoints and all our supporters!"
As a result of donations from BetterPoints and other supporters, they've been able to purchase:
Life Start System, a smaller resuscitaire for pre-term babies, is a specialised piece of medical equipment used to support newborn babies.
LUCAS Mechanical Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) machine, for use within the Heart Centre. This machine can help save a life during cardiac arrest, when the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs.
Accuvein, a handheld vein viewing system to support successful first-time patient cannulation in different departments across the hospital.
