Parent Infant Unit

Move for Mental Health 2023

Surprise goal increase

After a surprise 2nd donation from the Golden Square Hotel we have been able to raise the fundraising goal again! 
We are in the final few days now and we are so thankful to every single person who has donated or bought a mango tray/bag of lollies/sausage/burger from us this past month to help us get this far and raise this much money for our local mental health services! 
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! 

Golden Square Hotel

Massive thanks to the Golden Square Hotel who donated the takings from their raffle last night to our team which has resulted in us exceeding our fundraising goal again! 

And another massive thanks to them for sharing the website for PIU and helping raise awareness of our unit and move for mental health!

BBQ and lolly guessing

The past week we have held a bbq and also had a TUB of guess how many lollies. These 2 fundraisers have allowed us to again increase our fundraising goal!! 
The winner of the lolly guessing tub was Alex Gentry with 1159 lollies heading her way! 

Mango Fundraiser

We currently have a Mango fundraiser happening for Move for Mental Health. A tray is made up of 9-14 mangos depending on size and costs $28. Anyone who would like to place an order is welcome to send through an email to parentinfantunit@bendigohealth.org.au :)

Fundraising Goal

We want to extend a heartfelt THANKYOU! To all those who have been backing the Parent Infant Unit team. Your support has consistently surpassed our initial expectations, prompting us to raise our fundraising target multiple times. Today, we are excited to announce that we've once again elevated our goal, setting it at a remarkable $4,000. We're genuinely thankful for the incredible support from each and every one of you.

24 hour Treadmill Challenge

PIU took part in the 24 hour treadmill challenge yesterday as part of move for mental health. Staff and patients of the Parent Infant Unit all went down for an hour in the afternoon and took it in turns to have a go on the treadmill and the bike that was set up on ground floor of the hospital before the next team came to take over for their turn. 

We are fundraising for...

Our team is made up of staff from the Parent Infant Unit at Bendigo Health along with their family and friends. The Parent Infant Unit (PIU) is a five bed mental health inpatient unit for primary care givers and their infants who are under 12 months of age. We assess and treat the mental health of the parent and support/strengthen the attachment relationship between parent and infant. We've signed up to participate in the 2023 Move for Mental Health challenge because we want to help raise funds to improve mental health services for patients throughout the Loddon Mallee region. 100% of the proceeds go to Bendigo Health. Please support our efforts by making a donation or sharing our fundraising page to your social network, thank you.

Thank you to our Sponsors
