Inspirational ladies lend support to Midland Met fundraising campaign

January 23, 2023

It is not every day you have the pleasure of meeting a group of ladies who are so committed to doing good for their local community as the Guru Nanak Nam Ladies Charity Jatha UK group. 

Recently, the Trust welcomed the group to Midland Met to enjoy a site tour and see how the fundraising they have been doing will impact patients once we open our doors to the public in 2024.  

The group is well known to many local organisations as they have made several charitable donations to help support people and groups that need an extra boost. So far, they have supported SWB in several ways, including funding wellbeing packs for colleagues during the peak of COVID-19. Now they are fundraising for us at Midland Met, by enhancing the care our phototherapy device will provide for neonates. 

Whilst on site they had the opportunity to see first-hand the progress being made. They visited several areas including maternity where they looked at a benchmark room and the Winter Garden where they had the chance to enjoy the views overlooking Birmingham.  

Nirmal Kaur Notay, Group Lead, remarked: “We chose to support Your Trust Charity because the new hospital is local to us and will benefit our community by providing NHS services to all of us.   

“Guru Nanak Ladies Jatha is a local fundraising group, and we collectively decided to support our new hospital. We are a group of Indian Sikh ladies who work with our community to raise money for a variety of projects, and this aligns with our goals as a group. We’ll be providing funds to help provide enhanced care for equipment in neonates.” 

Johnny Shah, Head of Your Trust Charity, said: “The Guru Nanak Nam Ladies Jatha have been a valued supporter of Your Trust Charity for many years. We are truly overwhelmed by their fantastic generosity in making further donations to our We Are Metropolitan campaign. 

“Thanks to their support, we will make a huge difference in the lives of our critically ill patients and our young patients with high dependency needs. We will also be able to create our very own charity hub at Midland Met, where we will gratefully recognise their support with a plaque. Making Midland Met more than a hospital would not be possible without their support.”
