How can I help?

Getting involved is easy...  Our main aim over the new few months is to raise awareness and reach more patients and this can be via hospitals, friends and family.  We are also aiming to increase our reach via social media. 

So... have you got....

TWO minutes to help?

• like and follow us on facebook/ Instagram

• ask friends / family to follow & share - they will know someone that needs us

• donate to our ‘gofundme’ page

TEN minutes to help?

• share our story and tell other patients/nursing teams about us when you meet them during treatment

• tag, or even better collaborate with, us on a story on Instagram/ Tiktok when you share your journey

• ask your club/ lodge/ association to host an awareness event - one of us will come and share our story

• ask your company if they have a charity funD - would they like to support us?

• host an event to raise funds/ awareness of what we do

MORE minutes to help?

• request an awareness pack to get you started

In the pack you will find:

1. Example(s) of PICC sleeves

2. Background info about PICCPals 

3. Flyers/ Business cards/ Stickers - these will have a QR code of our website for you to share with other patients/ local hospitals/ doctors surgeries/ treatment groups

4. Social Media campaign guidelines - we like the personal touch so instead of just using a 'cover all' approach on FB/ IG we share ways to engage with friends directly and individually...

5. 
   

Currently we do not have capacity to support sewists from anywhere other than the Southend and surrounding area.   But holding a coffee morning about our work in your locality would be just as helpful...
