​​HELP HEALTHCARE, HELP THE PLANET.​

Are you a healthcare
​practitioner?​

a Find a good-sized cardboard box that fits in a visible corner of your clinic’s waiting room,  
where you, your colleagues and your patients can deposit out-of-date or barely-used compression garments. Download and print the “Get Started” poster , and attach it to the box. Once it's almost full, contact us and we'll handle the rest:  collect at your convenience, match your donation with the best destination, arrange transport and customs clearance, update you on our progress, and recognise your contribution as it grows with a Certificates of Appreciation to display so colleagues and patients can share in the glory --- all at no cost to you or your patients.
 
You're not only helping those abroad who suffer from stigmatisation, physical pain, ​and compromised quality of life, you are also empowering your patients and co-workers too, through positive change -- it is a healing experience for donors and recipients alike.

    EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO GIVE!

Are you
a patient?

Launder almost-new compression garments you no longer use and drop them in the LIHDA recylcing box at your practitioner’s clinic. If they don’t have one yet, tell them the good news. They can learn all about the program here or read about our rave reviews from the  British Lymphoedema Society and other ambassadors.
