SOME OF OUR DECORATED DUCKS
for our Charity DuckRace on 20th May 2012
Founded in 2005 and run by 3 unpaid volunteers, Ray Blowers, Felicity Wylie and Mike Wylie, MidasPlus Fundraising is a registered charity dedicated to helping disadvantaged people in Middlesex, and Surrey plus surrounding areas; people who have nowhere else to turn.
The gift of a fully powered wheelchair can give even a severely disabled person a freedom and independence that we able-bodied take so much for granted; it’s life-changing for them and their carers. They cost up to £5000 each and in the last 2 years, they’ve donated four fully powered wheelchairs to local disabled people.
Taking over 50 adults with disabilities & special needs on a week’s holiday to Weymouth or the Isle of Wight is an incredible undertaking for the many wonderful volunteers who are involved; but just buying them an ice-cream each day costs £100! MidasPlus undertakes to raise 50% of the total £15,000 that it costs.
Carpeting for a very hard-up young mum with twins just at the crawling stage, a new bath and toilet for an elderly man struggling to look after himself, a phone line for an elderly infirm couple, renovating a hairdressing facility at an old people’s sheltered accommodation, making a garden safe for a family with a young daughter afflicted with severe down’s syndrome and hyper-activity, are examples of just some of the projects that MidasPlus has accomplished since they were established.
In addition, they’ve paid for £3500 of new fencing for Heathrow farm who give disable people riding lessons, and donated two new mobility scooters to Staines Shopmobility.
MidasPlus raises most of its funds by holding local money raising events; persuading local restaurants and hotels to support them with dinners and karaoke evenings, Elvis nights, lunch and evening events at the runnymede-on-thames, annual Valentine Balls at Great Fosters Hotel in Egham, RAF concerts at St Peters, Golf Days, a bucket collection at Harlequins Rugby, a duck race on the River Colne and roping in volunteers, rotary and even the local mayor on occasions to assist.
