Walsall-based vending and refreshment operator Coinadrink Limited will again donate to the Bloxwich and Blakenall Foodbank this Christmas, in support of our local community.
We’re inviting our team to give what they can to those who may be struggling this Christmas, with welcomed items including tea and coffee, long life drinks, and nappies.
It has been a while since we have shared an update from the Just Small Change charity, but we were delighted to hear from founders and friends Peter and Jane Donaghue recently.
Having now moved on from Kenya, the charity has positioned themselves across multiple villages near Mbale, Uganda. It was fascinating to hear about their latest work that will go onto make a huge difference to the local villages across the country.
With 2022 seeing the cost of living drastically spike, food poverty has tragically taken the same direction. Our team at Coinadrink have partnered with our suppliers to aid the excellent work in our local community.
Around the same time as International Charity Day, we have just received the latest update from our friends at Just Small Change, a charity we have long supported.
Just Small Change works in some of the poorest parts of the world to help people escape poverty through small scale loans for business development. Not only does this help deliver a better life but does so in a way that also restores pride and purpose for the individuals and families. The following update from Coinadrink Limited is the first we have received post-Covid, so we’re happy to hear from the charity.
In 2020, Ian Hawkins’ family were told by doctors and nurses at The Walsall Manor Hospital to prepare for the worst. Ian was admitted into hospital after developing Covid-19 symptoms and experiencing breathing difficulties, and from there his health rapidly declined. Within 24 hours, he was placed on full ventilation.
Ian spent over two months in hospital having suffered from a multitude of serious conditions from pneumonia and sepsis to multiple organ failure and a secondary bacterial infection. He was an extremely sick man.
Remarkably, and with the help of the incredible Critical Care Rehabilitation Team at The Walsall Manor Hospital, Ian fought back to tell the tale today. Now, he wants to give something back to show his appreciation. Ian’s Walk will be taking place on Sunday 27th June, a 26 mile hike that will hopefully raise valuable funds for the department. And Coinadrink Limited are proud sponsors!
West Midlands vending firm Coinadrink Limited has already participated in a variety of charitable schemes this year as communities up and down the country look to pull together amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. So we were only too happy to get on board with the “Christmas Wish List” programme for sick children, devised by the Well Wishers charity located in our Walsall Manor Hospital. Read more
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it has been a long time since we provided an update on the Just Small Change charity we are so proud to support. So we were delighted when our good friends Peter and Jane Donaghue, registered trustees of the organisation, got in touch with us with a positive update.
