For those of you who have been touched by the story behind MRI Maakers and the Harriet’s Hat pattern, you can find out what other local people are doing to help raise funds on the Shetland MRI Scanner Appeal site.

We’ve been asked how to support/donate to the scanner appeal directly, the following is a list of methods taken from their site.

	PayPal allows you to securely donate a one-off or regular contribution to the campaign. UK tax payers can opt to add Gift aid which means HMRC give an extra 25%, so choosing this option increases your donation at no cost to you.  DONATE ONLINE HERE
	If you prefer to donate by cheque, please make it out to “NHS Shetland Endowment Fund” and post/deliver it to:   Endowment Fund Supervisor, NHS Shetland Endowment Fund, Finance Department, Gilbert Bain Hospital, South Road, Lerwick, Shetland, UK ZE1 0TB.
	Give up a bad habit or be really creative and do something different that people will sponsor you for. Follow the “MY FUNDRAISING” link below and create your own GoFundMe page. Guidance on how to create your page is in the MRI Scanner Fundraising Pack. Other templates available for you to use are our: Event Poster, Invitation, Ticket, Donations Form and Sponsorship Form. MY FUNDRAISING
	There are collection points in the Gilbert Bain Hospital as well as NHS Shetland Health Centres and various local shops. Our fundraising events will also have collection points. If you would like to arrange another method, please get in touch using the contact form on the Shetland MRI Scanner Appeal website.
	For every order you make on Amazon 0.5% will be contributed to the campaign by Amazon. Be sure to click the button below before you start your shop or choose “Shetland Health Board Endowment Funds” as your charity on Amazon Smile to donate without any cost to you. START SHOPPING
