The Joan Seeley Pain Relief Memorial Trust has donated specialist equipment worth over £5,000 to Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice on Bostall Hill, Abbey Wood.
The Joan Seeley Pain Relief Memorial Trust was set up in 1979 by former Grand Prix sidecar racer, racing machine constructor and racing team principal Colin Seeley in memory of his first wife Joan following her death from bone cancer. As a tribute to her courage, he set up the charity trust to provide equipment for the relief of chronic pain.
To date The Joan Seeley Pain Relief Memorial Trust has donated more than £150,000 of specialist pain relieving equipment to a total of 32 hospitals and hospices across the UK including over £40,000 of specialist equipment to Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice.
The latest donation in January 2015 includes a new hoist for the Day Hospice to allow the Hospice team to move patients with limited mobility safely and comfortably, devices to measure blood pressure and oxygen concentration and syringe pump cases to enable the inpatient team to administer pain relief safely.
