Various other ways to give to
Health Aid UK

While big cash donations are very welcome, sometimes people want to help Health Aid UK by donating things, rather than money, or by doing volunteer work. This kind of support is also very welcome!

Here are some ideas.

Donations in-kind
  • stuff - for the charity shop in Rochdale
  • equipment and vehicles for Romania

    Volunteer your time
  • in the UK
  • in Romania

    Corporate sponsorship
  • ideas for corporate giving

    Personal sponsorship      
  • do a sponsored marathon, swim or whatever
    Stuff for the charity shops in Rochdale?

    For example: Most of the clothes are sold in the shop, with the profits going to support our work with the children in Romania. Sometimes, we actually take childrens clothes from the shop out to Bucharest for the children (although we only do this when someone is travelling there anyway, as otherwise the transport costs make this uneconomic... i.e. it is better to sell the secondhand clothes in the UK, and use the money to buy clothes locally in Bucharest).

    In the unlikely event that you live in or around Rochdale and don't know where there is a Health Aid UK charity shop, feel free to contact our shops co-ordinator on 0176-640 349.

    We are open Monday to Friday, 10am-4pm



    Equipment and vehicles for Romania

    Volunteer work in Romania?
    Unless you have very specialist skills, if you don't speak Romanian there's not so much you can do a volunteer in Romania. If you DO have specialist skills, e.g. Then we would be most interested in hearing from you.

    Volunteers are expected to pay their own flights, insurance and subsistance expenses, although we are happy to help specialist volunteers to look for sponsorship for their mission to Romania.

    When we accept specialist volunteers to work in Romania, we usually provide accomodation in the Bucharest.
