MIDDLEWICH MP Fiona Bruce has urged her constituents to support the Newlife Foundation, which collects and reuses medical equipment for disabled children.
The Staffordshire-based charity collects equipment that is no longer needed and would otherwise have been thrown away, ensuring it can continue to help disabled and terminally ill children in the UK.
Mrs Bruce said: "I'm urging my constituents to support this excellent charity which is meeting more than one real need.
“Over the years several residents have contacted me expressing concern that they have been told to dispose of medical equipment after they have used it – some valuable – when it could be used again by someone else who very much needs it.
“This recently founded, but already successful and growing charity solves that problem and will even collect items of equipment form people's homes.
“I encourage everyone to keep a note of their contact details.”
