PORT are now signed up to Facebook payments. As well as now having a donate button, on our charity page,  people can also create fundraisers, including birthday fundraisers for our charity. We are listed as  Pseudo Obstruction Research Trust. Hopefully this will give our charity another avenue to raise vital funds to continue our work.

Many thanks to Kaylie Finch, and the Earl Grey Pub. The Earl Grey pub held a Race Night last night (11th October) and donated the £112 raised to PORT.

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.
