The Battle Back Golf programme is based on the same biopsychosocial model of recovery as the MoD’s Battle Back adaptive sport and adventurous training programme. Run by health professionals who understand how best to support wounded injured and sick service personnel and veterans, it provides opportunities to ab initio and experienced golfers. The programme is diverse, socially inclusive and offers training and competitive opportunities for all impairment groups, including wheelchair users. The main objectives of Battle Back Golf are: a. To provide seriously injured personnel and veterans with the opportunity to experience golf with the potential to enjoy it as a viable sport in which to participate and compete. b. To receive, coordinate and deliver charitable offers of funds, equipment, clothing and golfing opportunities. c. To organise golfing educational courses, competitive events and sports tours for the development and enjoyment of the Battle Back Golf Cohort.
The CHIRA (Chichewa for ‘get well’) Fund has been in existence for more than 10 years, with the aim of promoting the health of adult patients admitted to Queen’s medical wards by improving the environment in which they are cared for. There are over 10,000 admissions to the hospital each year. 80% of those admitted are infected with HIV and 30% of people who are admitted die on the ward. Although there have been many significant improvements in the past years, the wards continue to be overcrowded, with frequent drug shortages and a severe lack of medical and maintenance staff. We receive donations from organisations, friends, past and present staff and well wishers from all over the world; however as is the case in most hospitals worldwide, adult medical wards are not usually the target of benevolent donors. It is important, however, to remember that in these beds lies someone’s mother or father, brother or sister and very often the breadwinner of the family. We use the money to provide for everyday needs for the hospital’s patients, who are among the poorest of the poor. We aim particularly to provide a cleaner environment, better toilet and ablution facilities, wheelchairs and, in emergencies, drugs that may be temporarily out-of-stock.
We are supporting people with Brain Injury & Disabilities. While supporting these people we are giving them back a great sense of achievement & self worth by helping them to live independently from their own homes. Finding placements that are suited to the individuals, which helps boosts their low esteem & gives individuals a great sense of value within our society.
We have established an alternative, non fee paying primary school, where children’s happiness is paramount; where the curriculum is bespoke, designed around children’s needs and interests; where there is a commitment to outdoor learning and hands on experiences; where children are motivated and inspired; where all children are successful as individuality is valued; where respect for the environment and healthy lifestyles are honed. The Treehouse School. We believe children are entitled to memorable and enjoyable Primary Years. Any donation large or small will move our endeavours forward.
We are working to regenerate the beautiful Loch of Blairs to create a special place for our community, and visitors, to use for both education and recreation.
