Medicash Foundation

The Medicash Foundation advances health and saves lives by funding treatment, nursing, and care for sick, infirm individuals suffering diseases, ailments, or physical disabilities, rooted in Liverpool's voluntary hospital ethos of accessible wellbeing for all. Core values emphasize reducing health inequalities, enhancing physical and mental health access, and partnering with NHS trusts and charities through responsive, needs-led grants that deliver practical, lasting impact via flexible corporate funding, minimal bureaucracy, and frontline gap-filling for vulnerable populations.

Prioritizing health and wellbeing, they support physical disabilities interventions including Guide Dogs mobility aids and large-print resources for vision-impaired young people, deafblind services via Deafblind UK, neurological conditions through Shift.ms and The Brain Charity, cancer care and childhood cancer rehabilitation with Cyclists Fighting Cancer, palliative care and hospice services at Bolton Hospice, neonatal end-of-life suites and infant feeding nursing posts at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and Liverpool Women’s Hospital, youth mental health campaigns like Be Free for emotional wellbeing and anxiety support, medical equipment such as specialist defibrillators for air ambulances, and wider determinants addressing homelessness, poverty, social inclusion, and environmental health protecting indigenous communities. They fund project delivery including staffing for therapeutic care, facility improvements for complex health needs, innovative emergency responses like PPE for healthcare workers, and community outreach reducing isolation for children, young people, elderly, families caring for disabled individuals, and those with chronic illnesses, favoring person-centred, preventative, evidence-based approaches that sustain rehabilitation, peer support, and holistic recovery.

Exclusions include direct individual grants, unrestricted funding, and seed support for new organizations; they prioritize registered charities, NHS trusts, and community groups demonstrating clear health impact without duplicating services. Distinctive for century-old regional legacy in North West urban and community settings, rapid mobilization for health crises, corporate-backed flexibility enabling equipment and staffing for underserved children with complex needs, elderly in palliative care, disabled youth facing barriers, and families tackling poverty-driven health inequities through community-led, trauma-informed interventions.
