Last year Simon and Judy Friend pledged to help raise funds for our new clinic at Pader. In 2008 they raised £25,000 to help refurbish and equip the clinic, ready for its opening in October. In the first 4 months, 566 patients received treatment free of charge.
It costs about £5 to treat each patient and the running costs for the clinic total £27,500 per annum.
At the weekend Simon received confirmation that Trade Aid UK has agreed to give £6,000 and he received a further £3,000 from other supporters.
Simon has written a short introduction to our work in Pader, which you can download by clicking here.
