ABOUT US

The National Paediatric Fundraising Society is formed from Paediatric Societies by over 20 Universities in the UK. 

​

As medical students and members of our Paediatric Society, we felt like we had the opportunity and the responsibility to found the National Paediatric Fundraising Society. 

We are so excited to be working with medical schools across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, to relieve the effect that COVID-19 has had upon charities, whilst helping children along the way! 

​

From the 10th to the 16th of October 2021, we will be fundraising on both a local and national scale. As a group we will be walking along a route which passes all the children's hospitals in England.

​

Our chosen National Charity is YoungMinds. They help adolescents and young adults by providing mental health support and meeting the needs of those who are vulnerable and/or feel excluded. They have been a leader in empowering children and young people across the UK since 1993.

Alongside this, we will be fundraising on a local scale for a charity which directly impacts our local communities via bake sales, quizzes and other events.
