Medical Equipment Collected

UNUSED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

We realised that there is so much unused medical equipment stored in back rooms, lofts, garages etc. which is either no longer used or which cannot be returned, and, as you have probably gathered from our website, we hate waste!  So we recently advertised for unused medical equipment, crutches, wheelchairs, walking aids etc. to be dropped off at Upton Community Centre and what a response we have had!

This will all be donated to PhysioNet, a UK charity that repurposes and sends medical equipment abroad, most recently to Ukraine, to help those who don't have access, or the means to get items like this!

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.  
This will also help to keep items from going to landfill - so helping our environment!

We would also like to thank HBC's Upton Community Centre and the Widnes Vikings Foundation who store the items until they are collected by Physionet, for their help and support.  

IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO DONATE THEIR UNUSED EQUIPMENT,
PLEASE GET IN TOUCH!
