Samara Aid - volunteers finishing off a load for Syria last Saturday

Throughout the COVID pandemic we have been collecting and shipping containers of recycled physiotherapy equipment - albeit on a reduced basis. Last week we shipped our 114th container to Syria!

Hi everyone - apologies for being 'off air' for the last year or so.... we will be providing regular news of our activities in future.

Calling knitters! We have a shipment going to Rwanda next year and they have requested blankets for standard single beds and cots. If you're at a loose end 😆 maybe you can help?

Well done ,everyone involved with the loading of the container filled with medical aid for Fijian disabled community @PhysioNetYork @MaerskUKIreland @FijiPM

Another load of equpment to Romania to support children and adults with disabilites.

PhysioNet have scheduled a loading for Sat 25th July '20, at Gelsthorpe Farm commencing at 0900. If you can spare a couple of hours to help we would love to see you. The shipment, consisting of largely paediatric equipment, is bound for the Maria Beatrice Center, Romania.

Saturday 11 July 2020 - another 40ft container full of mobility aids bound for South Africa in collaboration with the Rotary Clubs of Rushmoor @rushmoorrotary and Northcliff @NorthcliffRotaryClub. A great team effort.

These photos are from Ghana where Physionet has delivered equipment. This is the first day of equipment training using newly developed online resources, devised by PhysioNet therapists, to provide the skills the local therapists will need to use the equipment effectively.

On Sat 11 July 2020 PhysioNet have scheduled a shipment bound for Johannesburg, South Africa. Usual details, venue Gelsthorpe Farm, loading time 0900. All welcome!

A big 'Thank You' to our new friends at Rabbit Hill Country Store @RHCountrystore for providing much needed space while we re-organise our 'stocks' after losing our depot facilities in Saffron Walden. Brilliant!

First loading since lockdown! - a delayed shipment to South Africa. Loading on 20th June - 9am at Gelsthorpe Farm. We will be operating with appropriate measures to protect everyone involved.

Dear Physionet Friends and Colleagues You may have been difficulty accessing our website - physionet.org.uk - over the last months. If so, please accept our apologies; this was due to a technical fault that has now been corrected. Best wishes!

Thanks to @smurfitkappa for your ongoing generosity supplying cardboard cartons - allowing us to efficiently move disability equipment to people in other parts of the world who are less fortunate.

Our last shipment before lockdown has arrived safely in Bonaire - thanks for the pics!! This shipment was made possible through the generosity of Rotary Club of Harenkarspel (rotary.nl/harenkarspel) and Rotary Club of Bonaire (rotarybonaire.org)

PhysioNet loaded a 20 ft container last month which was bound for Bonaire, a first for our charity. At the time, we failed to acknowledge that the Rotary Club of Harenkarspel (Holland) were also instrumental in its delivery - as well as the RC of Bonaire. Thanks RC Harenkarspel!

Physionet has now closed down all its operations, collecting, refurbishing and delivering unwanted physiotherapy equipment to the disabled around the world, for the foreseeable future. We will return to continue this important work as soon as we are able to do so.

PhysioNet loaded a 20 ft container today which is bound for Bonaire, a first. Bonaire is one of three islands, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, which lie to the north of Venezuela in the Caribbean. The Rotary Club of Bonaire collaborated with the shipment. rotarybonaire.org
