Charitable Funds

Patients Amenity Fund

The Measham Medical Unit Patients Amenity Fund has, for over 30 years had money donated by grateful patients, their relatives and friends.

Out of this fund many items of equipment have been purchased and lent out to our patients, sometimes this equipment is not always returned. If you have borrowed something in the past, can we ask you to check your shelves, cupboards and garages to see if you have inadvertently put an item of equipment away when it was no longer required. Some of the items missing are nebulisers, BLOOD Pressure monitors, TENS machines wheelchairs. If you find you still have any items borrowed from the Unit, we would be very grateful to have them returned, in order that many more patients may have the benefit of their use. Thank you.

Intercare - Medical Aid for Africa

Intercare is a charity that collects unwanted returned prescription medicines, which are at least fifteen months in date. The charity distributes them free of charge to a network of 100 English speaking health centres in Africa. These clinics serve an estimated population of over 2.5 million people who cannot afford and do not have access to the basic medicines we take for granted. The medical unit has been donating to this very worthwhile charity for several years, and has recently sent them two redundant sterilisers.

Haiti Disaster Fund

We are sending £190.00 to UNICEF for the Haiti Disaster Fund. This money has been donated by staff and patients.

Remember Me Tree

Our “remember me” tree was popular again this Christmas. We raised a total of £110 which we divided between the Birmingham Children’s Hospital charity and The British Lung Foundation. Click HERE to read the 2 thank you letters we received from the charities.

The doctors and staff of Measham Medical Unit would like to thank you for your continued support and generosity.
