The doctors and staff at Whitworth Medical Centre would like to thank patients for continuing to help us support several charities, details of which can be found below.
- Staff and patients have been donating books for sale since 2007 and the proceeds raised have been donated to our local Hospice in Rochdale, Springhill. Spinghill Hospice is an independent charity that has to rely on voluntary contributions and provides specialist and palliative care for people with life-limiting illness. The amount raised for donation over the last year was £532.00. Further details on the good work that the hospice carries out can be found on their website www.springhill.org.uk.
- We have also donated unused medical equipment which can no longer be utilised in our practice to the help to provide better healthcare in third world countries.
- We have a collection point for old unwanted spectacles in the reception area. These are forwarded for use in third world countries.
