Raising Awareness

Unique wants to raise awareness of rare chromosome disorders, show what Unique does and who we help.  So, we have developed a generic presentation The Unique Network which gives a clear and simple overview of what a rare chromosome disorder is, how it affects families and what Unique does to help. 

You do not need to be a geneticist to deliver this presentation, just a parent or grandparent who has had experience of a rare chromosome disorder. Personal stories are always well received by audiences, and more so when it involves children. 

If you would like to arrange a presentation locally, maybe at your local WI, Rotary Club, Social Club or school then please feel free to download the Powerpoint presentation. You can tailor the presentation by adding in photographs of your own child if you wish (we know from experience that the personal touch really adds to the presentation).

Often as a result of giving a presentation, fundraising opportunities arise, whether a collection on the day, a small donation from the committee or future fundraising events on our behalf. 

It is best to use the presentation via a laptop and Powerpoint projector, so you'll need to save the presentation to disc. Otherwise we can send you a colour copy of the presentation on acetates to use on an overhead projector or colour copies to hand out, by contacting Julie Griffin, Unique Treasurer with the details of your event.
