Group Sponsors

Manchester Airports Group (MAG)

Medcare was the first group-wide charity that MAG supported in 2011. As well as financial support, MAG gave time for employees with key skills to help transform lives of children. From 2011-2014 MAG raised funds to enable the refurbishment and extension of the Wellspring Children’s Medical Centre, at a cost of £200,000. This work, which was completed in 2014, has provided opportunities for Medcare to treat thousands more children each year and to develop specialties to assist those children suffering from malaria, HIV/AIDS and those with physical disabilities and cerebral palsy.

Charlie Cornish, MAG’s Chief Executive, said, “I am confident that our work will make a huge difference to people who need help.”

MAG also provided funds to assist with sustainability of the enlarged medical centre for a 3-year period.

In 2023 MAG have once again partnered with Medcare, providing funds and expertise to assist Medcare with their on-going commitment to provide health and social care to thousands of deprived, sick Ugandan children. The Medcare Board of Trustees wish to sincerely thank MAG for this continued partnership. Together we can provide a lifeline for many more Ugandan children.
