Medical Supplies

Do you have unused, specialist medical supplies that you no longer require?

You can support our country partners in Albania, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine through donating your unwanted medical supplies and equipment.

We don’t accept any type of medicine, a full list of accepted items can be found below. All supplies must have over a years expiry date, and we are unable to provide a collection service, but you can send your donations to: Medical Supplies, 11 High Street, Otford, Kent, TN14 5PG

We also urgently need financial donations to help cover the rising cost of shipments. If you would like to help us deliver these vital supplies to hospice patients, please fill out the donation form at the bottom of the page.

Please do not send any parcels directly to our country partners.

Due to changes in custom regulations, all imports are subject to custom taxes and duties paid by the importer, which will in turn incur charges that the charity will have to pay. Please only use the UK postal address provided.

We urgently need financial donations to help cover the rising cost of shipments. Two pallets of supplies cost a minimum of £1,000, with prices increasing for heavier items such as mobility aids. Each year on average we spend over £8000 on ensuring the supplies make it to where the need is greatest. The ongoing war against Ukraine, combined with the challenges posed by a post-Brexit, post-Covid world, continue to contribute to a steady increase in costs.

Your help covering costs would be received with heartfelt thanks. Hospices of Hope remains committed to doing whatever we can to help, even in the face of rising costs, but your support remains invaluable to this work.

Please consider donating now to help us in our mission to help those in desperate need.
