This week PORT sent out small grant applications to various consultants and researchers. The research grant provided is up to £50,000. This year PORT funded 3 projects at a total cost of £150,000. Please look at the research section of our website for details of these. PORT would like to fund at least one project in 2020. Please consider SupPORTing our charity by fundraising for us. We cannot fund future research into CIPO/Dysmotility/Gastroparesis without the funds . It doesn’t have to be a large event, all money raised counts!  Some members have been kind enough to donate monthly via a direct debit. If you would like to help in this way please contact us for our charity bank details- thank you!


 

This year, trustees Barry Stewart and Dr Nigel Meadows represented PORT, at The Big Bowel Event. This year the event was held at CCT Venues, on Friday 4th October, from 10am-4pm.

The event gives the opportunity for researchers to talk to the public about their projects, and make use of their insights as patients, family and friends. Typically, the morning gives an insight into the research, and the opportunity for involvement. The afternoon brings academics, and the public together to help shape the best research. This year PORT had a stand at the event-an opportunity to increase awareness of our charity, and the work we do.


 

Today, Terry Chamberlain, of Thurrock Bowls Club, and Peter Madgewick, of The Drums Bowls Club, presented a cheque for £725,00 to Trustee Barry Stewart . The Bowls clubs have been fundraising for PORT Charity during 2019.

Also a special mention to the lovely Serena-Jayne Madgewick for your continued supPORT. We would like to thank you all.
