Today one of our team delivered an inspiring educational assembly to local school children. 🌍💙

With warmth, clarity, and genuine passion, Jo brought GamMed’s surgical outreach trips to life—sharing stories of teamwork, compassion, and the real impact that access to surgery can have on individuals, families, and entire communities around the world. What could have been a complex topic was transformed into an engaging and age-appropriate journey that captured young imaginations and sparked thoughtful questions.

Through discussion and images, the children learned that medicine isn’t just about hospitals and instruments—it’s about people helping people, crossing borders, and using skills to make a meaningful difference. The assembly encouraged curiosity, empathy, and a sense of global responsibility, planting seeds that may one day grow into future healthcare workers, volunteers, or advocates for change.

Moments like these remind us that GamMed’s impact goes far beyond the operating theatre. By educating and inspiring the next generation, Todays assembly has helped extend the reach of GamMed’s mission—showing students that no one is too young to care about the world, and that small actions can lead to life-changing outcomes.

Today demonstrated how the GamMed team work with such passion and purpose, inspiring young minds to believe in the power of compassion, education, and global health.

Thank you to Our Lady Of Lourdes for welcoming us and raising an incredible £347 for GamMed

In the Gambia many patients with injuries use traditional medicine and Healers. Fractures are often bound with sticks and then do not heal in the correct position resulting in significant permanent deformity. The resulting deformities would pose a significant orthopaedic challenge to reconstruct the limb in the Western World, let alone in The Gambia 🇬🇲

🌍 Supporting Life-Saving Surgery in The Gambia 🌍

GamMed carry out vital outreach trips to The Gambia, where our volunteer specialists perform complex surgical procedures for patients who would otherwise have limited access to this level of care.

Alongside surgery, our mission goes further. We are deeply committed to teaching, training, and upskilling local doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals, helping to build long-term, sustainable healthcare services within the country.

To continue this life-changing work, we are always seeking financial backing and sponsorship. Every donation—large or small—directly supports surgical care, essential equipment, training programmes, and future outreach trips.

💙 You can make a difference today
Donations can be made quickly and securely via the “Donate” button on our website:

Together, we can save lives, share skills, and strengthen healthcare where it’s needed most.

Huge thanks to our Fundraising Lead, Sam Leycester Barrera, for single-handedly raising an incredible £1,370 through raffle donations.

Sam works tirelessly to source amazing raffle prizes and then goes above and beyond to sell literally hundreds of tickets.

Every penny raised goes directly to GamMed, helping to fund our bi-annual trips as well as the shipping containers we send to The Gambia—packed full of vital medical equipment and essential supplies.

We couldn’t do this without you, Sam. Thank you for everything you do 💙
