The Co-op Local Community Fund is now open, supporting MedEquip4Kids  by donating 1% of what Co-op members spend on Co-op branded products. To date Co-op members have helped to raise £9m for their local communities.

By choosing MedEquip4Kids to benefit from your Co-op spending, you could help us fund a lifesaving new piece of equipment for a local neo natal unit or children’s ward, or play facilities to give children a better experience of hospital treatment.

Simply go online and visit coop.co.uk/membership. Here you can log in to your account and select us as your chosen charity. If you’re not already a Co-op member, you’ll find full instructions on how to join.

Let your friends and family know and spread the word on social media using the hashtag #TheCoopWay. Together we can help ensure every sick child receives the best possible care.

Thank you

“Infections of the central nervous system need urgent and appropriate treatment. Most laboratory methods can take from 24 to 48 hours for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and three to seven days for diagnosis of viral meningitis or encephalitis. The new equipment will mean we can get results of these tests in around an hour. We’ll be able to inform the clinicians of a positive result, allowing targeted therapy and reassurance to the patients and families. Just as important is the reporting of negative results, which may enable treatment withdrawal and possibly a shorter hospital stay.”
