The Medicash Foundation - Giving back to our communities
We believe in putting charity at the heart of everything we do at Medicash, from community healthcare projects to international conservation efforts.
Taking our social responsibility seriously
At Medicash, we believe in charity and one of our proudest traditions is our commitment to charitable giving. Over the last five years, we’ve donated £2.25 million across health and wellbeing related charities.
We’re also one of Cool Earth’s pioneering partners, supporting six indigenous communities of the Peruvian Amazon. Between them, these communities are the custodians of over 76,000 hectares of rainforest, 29,589,492 trees and over 12,300,000 million tonnes of carbon stores.
