The MRC WIMM’s fundraising events are part of an effort that started over 25 years ago to support local charities that have a personal connection to members of the Institute but which do not directly fund our research. This year’s nominated charity, while not a local institution, was chosen due to their current efforts to refurbish the gardens of Helen & Douglas house, which provides local hospice care for children and young adults.
This year’s fundraising events included a variety of activities that have now become part of the WIMM’s annual calendar, from plant and craft sales to the infamous Summer Quiz. We would like to thank all those that participated, whether it was by baking, planting, crafting or guessing!
