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!

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!

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

[PhysioNet @PhysioNetYork]

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 (https://t.co/RPYz9nLOIK) and Rotary Club of Bonaire (https://t.co/wlcENCyvv8)

[PhysioNet @PhysioNetYork]

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 @PhysioNetYork]

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. https://t.co/jzMv1kMmGg
