Nappies, incontinence pads and other such items are poised to be purchased thanks to a fundraising effort by a church outreach project in Malvern, which has raised nearly £3,000, it has been reported.

According to the Malvern Gazette, the cash raised by members of Lansdowne Crescent Methodist Church will benefit a charity, which looks after 92 severely disabled people aged from three to 30 years.

The congregation chose to support the Four Homes of Mercy in Bethany through the annual outreach project, the proceeds from which will benefit victims of the conflict between Israel and Palestine and those born with disability.

Incontinence products are vital to helping make the lives of those suffering from the condition easier as they allow them to go about their business without worrying about going to the toilet all the time.

Pads such as Tena flex are designed for maximum security against leakage under heavier conditions and could be particularly useful to those who have lower levels of mobility.
