Gliffix prints for the Pluto appeal

This week we have had the exciting opportunity of working with a unique charity that aims to improve the lives of thousands of children through the innovative use of technology, specifically a robot named pluto.

Pluto will be the first robot dedicated to paediatric surgery in the South of England.  Using the most advanced technology available today, the da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex operations through a few tiny incisions with increased vision, precision, dexterity and control

The only other robot in England can be found at Leeds Children's Hospital. The USA benefits from over 300 children's surgical robots in comparison to only one in the UK.

We have teamed up with the Pluto Appeal to create 35 bespoke polo's that will be worn by the appeal staff at the launch of the appeal on Wednesday 29th June 2011. The charity appeal launch at the altitude 360 black in the Millbank Tower, will be hosted by Jason Bradbury (The Gadget Show) who will be also auctioning exclusive high tech gadgets on the day.

The pluto donations website is live and we would encourage all to support this worthy cause.

Heroes Wanted - Heroe Found

Gliffix steps up it’s fight against Leukaemia

Last week we supported another worthy cause when printed t-shirts for the ACLT donate for Kye recruitment drive. Kye Carpenter is a two-year-old boy with leukaemia. He has recently relapsed and is currently back in hospital.

Kye’s family and supporters at the recruitment drive wore the shirts on the 18th June at Choice FM Studios in Leicester Square.  The drive was a successful day as just under 500 donor registrations for bone marrow, blood and organ register.

We are extremely glad to say that after all the hard work a potential match has been found for Kye. We hope his transplant is successful and encourage people of black and mixed race origin to join the register, as there are many people in need of help.  

Please contact us if you have a cause you would like us to support you with.
