WANTED - MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Do you have medical equipment that is fit for purpose and no longer needed (or cannot be returned)? Then read on .....
UNUSED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
We realise that there is so much medical equipment stored in back rooms, lofts etc. which is either no longer used or which cannot be returned. As you have probably gathered from our website, we hate waste! So if you can help, please drop your equipment off at:-
Upton Community Centre
Hough Green Road
Widnes
WA8 4PF
on Saturday, 22nd November 2025 - between 10 am and 2 pm
This will also help to keep items going to landfill - so helping our environment!
This will all be donated to PhysioNet, a UK charity that repurposes and sends medical equipment abroad
to help those who don't have access, or the means to get items like this!
For more details about their charity, click here.
This is a trial project and we have no idea how much equipment is out there, but we hope to make a difference
to the lives of others, so THANK YOU for your help.
We would also like to thank HBC's Upton Community Centre and the Widnes Vikings Foundation
for their help and support.
