EVENTS DIARY Dear Supporter, Welcome to the Spring/Summer edition of Scannappeal’s Events Diary!

There is something for everyone to enjoy and all the funds raised will help provide state of the art medical equipment for Amersham, High Wycombe and Stoke Mandeville hospitals, as well as community health services.

We love to hear from you and if you want to give some of your time and do something brilliant for Scannappeal then there are many ways you can fundraise for us. Whether you’re a baker, a walker, a cyclist, a swimmer, a runner or you fancy taking on a challenge, it is easy to get involved and fundraise for Scannappeal. We will support you with ideas, marketing material and in any way we can to help make your event a success.

Please come and support Scannappeal by joining in at one, or more, of our activities or events. When you book tickets or take part in a fundraising activity you will be helping to make a real difference to the lives of patients living in Buckinghamshire. If you are attending one of our events or planning to hold your own fundraiser, we think you are all amazing! Thank you.
