Orthopaedic implants recovered after cremation are recycled
A Lincolnshire hospice and an emergency responder that support and help families in West Lindsey have both received a much-needed boost thanks to a special recycling scheme.
Former Chairman of West Lindsey District Council, Cllr Steve England selected the charity LIVES Lincolnshire earlier in the year and our current Chairman, Angela Lawrence selected St Andrew’s Hospice. This will now be the fourth round of donations that Lea Fields has been able to award as part of the scheme.
“We must also not forget to give a special thank you to the bereaved, who have given their consent to be apart of the scheme. Without them, we would not be able to give back to local communities in this way.” Tiffany Allen, Corporate and Grants Fundraising Manager for LIVES Lincolnshire said: “Not only do our Emergency Responders attend 999 medical emergencies; they are there for the family of patients when they need support the most. Suffering a loss is difficult in any situation but our emergency responders are there to try and help make things a little more manageable. LIVES provide the equipment and training to ensure that our Emergency Responders stay on the road.
The money donated will help the hospice to provide care and support for more than 500 patients, both adults and children, and their families, friends and over 200 carers. “We are so incredibly grateful for the generosity of the Lea Fields Crematorium; thank you from everyone here at St Andrew’s Hospice and Andy’s Children’s Hospice.”
