The Maypole Project

We are committed to helping people in our local community and beyond.

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, we are committed to helping people in our local community and beyond. Since 2011, Henderson Biomedical has worked closely with The Maypole Project.

The Maypole Project is a South London charity which aims to enrich the lives of children and young people who have complex medical needs and disabilities. This is achieved by creating a ‘lifeline’ for the children, their siblings and their whole family.

The charity provides emotional and social support from the moment the family is made aware of their child or young person’s condition. Sometimes this is sadly through and following the death of a child.

Since 2011, Henderson Biomedical has worked closely with The Maypole Project.

The Maypole Project stays alongside families for as long as they are needed. Their services, which include a range of therapies and regular activities and outings, are tailored to the individual needs.

For more information about the services and the whole project, please take a look at their website www.themaypoleproject.co.uk. There is also a video which summarises their work.

Relieve

The charity focuses on relieving mental distress and improving the mental and physical well-being of children and young people who face complex medical needs and disabilities. By offering specialized support tailored to the unique challenges these individuals encounter, the organization helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their potential, despite ongoing health issues.

Support

Acknowledging the profound effects a child's complex medical condition can have on their entire family, the charity extends its support to family members and others impacted by these circumstances. It provides vital resources and assistance to those navigating the emotional and practical realities of caring for a loved one with significant health challenges, including support through times of bereavement. Their efforts aim to foster a supportive community where families feel understood and supported at every step of their journey.

Educate

Education is a cornerstone of the charity's mission, targeting both the general public and professionals who work with families of children with complex medical needs. The organization seeks to raise awareness about the crucial role of emotional support and offer guidance on how it can be effectively rendered. Additionally, the charity is dedicated to equipping carers and professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage the intricacies of loss and bereavement, creating a more knowledgeable and empathetic support network for these families. This initiative reflects the charity's commitment to building a stronger, more supportive community for children with complex medical needs and their families.

Ways Henderson Biomedical helps.

Our 'chill-out' area, featuring games like table tennis and pool, is open to The Maypole Project children in the evenings. Directors and staff support the cause by participating in the annual fundraising dinner and other fundraising activities.

We enhance The Maypole Project's visibility through e-shots, our website, and social media, in addition to placing a donation box in our reception for visitors. This promotes awareness and encourages financial support for their work.
