Charitable Partnerships
Once known as the 'Penny in the Pound fund' Medicash is one of
the oldest and most respected healthcare cash plan providers in the
UK. With over 140 years of experience in pioneering healthcare
solutions, we've made it our business to offer the leading choice
in positive health plans, while maintaining a proud tradition of
charitable giving.
The Medicash Charitable Trust makes regular donations to
health-related charities and has given away over £1million over the
past 10 years. Below are just some examples of the campaigns that
Medicash supports:

Community Foundation for Merseyside
Medicash has actively worked with the Community Foundation for
Merseyside since 2006 when we launch our 'Good Health Fund'
endowment with a donation of £25,000. Since then we have
topped this up to be worth more than £50,000 and invested almost
£16,000 in Merseyside's communities to directly improve the health
and wellbeing of local people.

Everton in the Community
Medicash has agreed to donate £25,000 to support the work of
Everton in the Community, the official charity of Everton FC.
It is hoped that this donation will allow the charity to unlock a
further £100,000 of matched funding in the near future.
To date, the first stage of the Medicash sponsorship deal has
allowed the Blues' official charity to extend its sporting
provision for disabled children across Merseyside, removing the
traditional barriers which stop disabled people from participating
in sport.

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation
Medicash has shown its support for the fight against lung cancer
by donating £10,000 to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. This
donation will help support a research project at Kings College
London. The research project aims to develop single molecule
strategies to test blood samples, which it is hoped will help
researchers to identify abnormalities in the blood that could be an
early sign of lung cancer.

Tranmere Community Project
In 2010 Medicash commissioned Tranmere Community Project to
research the skills needed to become a Five Star Parent. These
findings were then fed into a Government review on Poverty and Life
Chances. Since then Medicash has continued to support the Project's
work with young fathers in Birkenhead by helping them to improve
their own parenting and employability capabilities.

And many others too…
The Medicash Charitable Trust also makes a lot of smaller
donations to good causes. Recent donations have included £500 to
BASIC (the Brian and Spinal Injury Centre) in Greater Manchester
for its computer assisted rehabilitation environment, and more than
£700 for the Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention Appeal for DNA
sampling for the early detection of breast cancer.
