Solihull clinic and local community raise over £12,000 for The Myton Hospices

Heath Lodge Clinic sets new £10,000 fundraising goal as it continues long-standing support for local hospice care .

Heath Lodge Clinic in Knowle, together with its patients, team, and wider community, has raised more than £12,300 for The Myton Hospices since 2017. As the MRI and pain management clinic approaches 10 years of support, it has set its next fundraising target as £10,000.

The Myton Hospices cares for patients with terminal illness. It provides specialist, free-of-charge care for people across Coventry and Warwickshire, including the families of patients. Myton relies on the ongoing generosity of its local partners and community fundraising in order to continue offering these life-enhancing services. Funds raised help support inpatient units, community nursing teams, and family support services, ensuring that care remains accessible and free-of-charge.

Part of the clinic’s fundraising has also come from patients making voluntary donations in lieu of paying for a pain management procedure or diagnostic scan, reflecting the strong community commitment behind the fundraising.

Dr David Beale, Consultant Radiologist and Founder of Heath Lodge Clinic, comments: “We’re incredibly proud to support The Myton Hospices. The charity makes an invaluable difference to local families, and without it, people’s lives would look very different. Our patients and team alike have embraced this cause wholeheartedly, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support. I have no doubt that together, we’ll not only meet, but exceed this next fundraising goal.” Chris Willmott, Partnerships Manager at The Myton Hospices, paid tribute to the amazing fundraising of the team, patients and colleagues at Heath Lodge Clinic. He said: “The Myton Hospices are eternally grateful for the ongoing generosity of everyone associated with Heath Lodge Clinic.

We have never needed their support more than we do in these difficult times and to have loyal supporters like Heath Lodge, who continue to fundraise for us year after year, is a real blessing. “Since our relationship began in 2017, an amazing £12,332 has been donated to Myton. That has enabled us to continue to provide our services, free of charge, to our terminally-ill patients, and also to provide support for their loved ones when they need us most. “So, a big thank you on behalf of everyone at Myton, but, most importantly, on behalf of our patients and families, in whose lives you have made such a difference. We simply cannot do what we do without amazing people like you.” The clinic is encouraging anyone who would like to contribute to visit its JustGiving page or contact the team to discuss a contribution.
