Why should businesses support Funny Blood?
Supporting children with Platelet Function Disorder is a great thing to do … for them, for your business and for the whole community.
To keep up the good work, Funny Blood needs the support of businesses both locally and Nationally. Their help provides a platform in which awareness of Platelet Function Disorders can reach more people and individuals in the business sector than we could otherwise. Also, connections with business helps open more channels for funding, so Funny Blood can continue to spread the word about these ‘silent illnesses’ and raise funds for research into the rare conditions.
Organisations such as The Worcestershire Ambassadors and The Chamber of Commerce provide many links and networking opportunities to meet new business people who might pledge their support. Raising awareness and interest in Funny Blood is an ongoing process, with new and exciting opportunities ahead.
