Fund Raising

The RVH Liver Support Group has an ongoing fundraising campaign, raising money through its efforts and the vital support from a large number of supporters. This money has all been used to benefit liver patients in many different ways.

£75,000 funded over 2 years to investigate the role of abnormal blood vessel stiffness and function in chronic liver disease.

£17,800 was paid to 68 patients to help with expenses while in England for assessment or transplant.

£14,200 provided an E.C.G Machine, Cardiac Monitor and Reclining Chairs in Ward 6D, as well as a Phlebotomy Chair and a Video Recorder in Outpatients 6B. Laptops were also provided for the Clinic and a tympanic thermometer and other miscellaneous items.

A sum of £10,000 has been placed in the Education Fund.

This money was raised from a wide range of activities carried out by or for the Group. These included Street Collections, Dances, Gospel Praise Service, Auctions, B.B.Q`s, Teams in the Belfast City Marathon and donations large and small, to name but a few.

A big thank you to all those involved.
