One of our latest donations to Edward. 

Edward was in need of a specialist buggy due to his medical conditions. Round Table agreed to donate the buggy to Edward including some extras to make life that little bit easier. Now Edward can enjoy some much needed family outings and gain some long-lasting memories.

Emma (Edward's Mum) said:
"The chair has allowed Edward to join us out for dinner as well as on dog walks and for me to take both children out independently which is a huge improvement and has improved our quality of life!"

We hope you are enjoying your new buggy and have some brilliant outings!!

After our sleigh route in Forest Glade, we made an extra visit to Laindon Community Centre to see a special little girl called Rosie who was having a Christmas ball.

Rosie Is battling a rare illness and has to undergo major surgery in the new year.

Her family are making lots of memories with Rosie and we were overjoyed to help. We gave Rosie and her family tickets for Peppa Pig at the Duke of York Theatre in London and some vouchers for a Buildabear workshop - two of the things on Rosie's wishlist.

We also gave the children sweets and Santa got down from his sleigh and had a quick meet n greet before flying back to the North Pole.

Unfortunately we understand Rosie is back in hospital with a few complications, so we wish her well and hope she can be home in time for Christmas. Get well soon Rosie x

Today we joined up with Contact the Elderly Basildon who contacted us earlier this year asking for a donation towards a day out at the seaside. It was our absolute pleasure to pay for their trip which started with Fish and Chips in Leigh and ended up at Southend having ice creams by the sea. The weather could have been a bit sunnier but a lovely time was had by all. It was great to see the great work that the volunteers do, making sure the older generation get together once a month for tea and a chat. They’d love to expand their group but can only do this with more volunteer helpers. Please contact them if you think that could be you.

19.2.2018
At the weekend we had the pleasure of presenting Abigail Bunting with a cheque for £200 after she completed a sponsored walk from Shenfield School to her home in Basildon. Abi is raising money for a world challenge trip to Belize in 2019.


We met up with Abi after her walk and this is what she said:


"The sponsored walk I did, home to Basildon from Shenfield School, was mild in comparison to what we are going to embark on. However I am so very grateful to everyone that sponsored me as I was able to raise over £600 towards my final goal. And a special thank you must go to Basildon Round Table for their massive contribution of £200. I am a very lucky girl."


Well done Abi and good luck with the rest of your fundraising!

New equipment for CTC patients


Generous donations from community organisations and fund-raising efforts by staff have provided patients of the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre with valuable new equipment. The cardiac rehab team now has a dedicated ECG machine, thanks to former patient Alan Searle. Alan presented a submission to Basildon and Billericay Round Table groups, who approved a donation of £4,100 to purchase the machine.


Donna Jessup, Cardiac Rehab Sister, thanked representatives from the Round Table when they visited the CTC to see the new electrocardiogram (ECG) machine in place. She said: “It will be a great benefit to be able to assess patients immediately if they feel unwell or have chest pains when they are exercising. This is one of the latest models and is very small and portable. We are very grateful to the Round Table for providing this equipment.”


The local Hearts and Minds support group purchased three defibrillators for use in community exercise programmes for discharged patients.


Lita Freegard, cardiac rehab instructor, raised £1,320 for the cardiac units at the CTC and Southend Hospital by organising a sponsored walk for patients and families along Southend pier.
