Red Cross
Th¢ Power of Kinthss is the Red Cr05s Maxirn. The Rcd Cross service is highly valued by people
living locally and 50m¢ wplc living furth¢r afield. Volunteers running the Fordingbridge service
are based in a I￿akabIn in the TA car park near ihe ba¢k of Avonway. Wh¢¢lchairs and commodes
are often required ai short notice, these can ofta) be wided.
Equipmcnt loaned oul is clcarKd and stctiliscd in E&811¢i¥h by Red Cross ¢mploy¢¢s, Loans of
equipment are free to the user but fuLqncial donations are welcome as is any other equipment ih
can be loaned or sold.
The Red Cross service is a drain on the fin&wAs of the Red Cross and for this reason the service has
closed in most of Hampskn're. It is secure in Fordingibridge untsl March 2027. Wc ar¢ unlikely to
1¢4rn until th¢ end of 2026. if fundin8 will b¢ PTovid¢d for 202712028.
Please use the service if you need ti and donate if Fwible. A very useful service is being provided.

Workn'ng with the surgery team these clinics run very smoothly. It is also very satisfying to receive
