Another grant will be handed over on Saturday.
Game for Life will be awarding a grant to Nottingham City Hospital to be used for kids receiving dialysis on the renal ward. These children are often very ill and may have to receive dialysis for 5-7hrs x 3-4days per week. During dialysis their mobility is severley restricted, although they have use of their hands and their minds are still active. In order to make the dialysis experience a little more tolerable Game for Life will be handing over three hand held DVD players and two GameBoy Advances. Game for Life will also be supplying a selection of DVDs and games.
Game for Life - Giving the World a Chance - Through the generosity of the poker community.
Thankyou for your support.
very good choice.
Thanks Simon.
It is gratifying when people approve of how the money that is raised is spent. I would urge more people to contact me with their views on how the funds raised are put to use. All too often I will get people walk up to me in a casino and say, why haven't you given to.....such or such good cause?etc. The answer invariably is that the charity wasn't aware of the specific need and we haven't been approached. It may sound a 'cop out' but we can only help those we know about. I can assure everyone that I do spend a lot of time highlighting projects that Game for Life may be willing to help, however, it would be fantastic if the users of this forum could make some suggestions, I am sure many people have causes very close to their hearts that we may be able to help. I would like to point out that I do not award the grants personally, my job is to do the research and present each application to the trustees for consideration and every request is judged on it's own individual merits.
