GLT Radio 4 broadcast raises over £30,000

The GLT Radio 4 appeal in June 2003 has raised well over £30,000, with over 1,000 responses!

A team of volunteers came together shortly afterwards to deal with the responses, under Mike Padmore's leadership, so that our costs could continue to be under 2%. They worked very faithfully, and funds have continued to come in.

Lord Weatherill, the former Speaker of the House of Commons spoke on Radio 4 on Sunday 1st June for just 3 minutes. Not a bad fundraising appeal - £10,000 a minute...

LRBT hospital enables 10 month old baby to see for the first time

“10 month old Mehrulla was brought to the LRBT hospital in Quetta because her eyelids were fused.

They could have treated her if she’d been older, but as a young child she needed a general anaesthetic to stop her moving during the operation. These facilities are not yet available in Quetta, and so Mehrulla had to travel 840 Km to Karachi.

On her arrival she was admitted to the LRBT hospital and treated free. So she was able to see Pakistan with both eyes as she travelled the 15 hour journey home.

Without the funds to travel to Karachi, or the facilities available there, it is difficult to imagine what her future would have been. As a result of the free treatment she has received a fresh start in life.”
