PICC Pals are a group of handy volunteers based in the Southend area. They make and provide free PICC line covers for patients in medium and long term treatments. Their aim is predominantly to help patients feel a little less “medical” in their day to day lives, help patients have enough practical and attractive covers to keep lines clear and clean and importantly - let patients know that people are thinking about them when they are going through treatment.

The group raise their own funds through different activities and accept donations on their GOFUNDME page where orders are also placed.  

However, a donation is not essential and ANYONE going through treatment can be sent covers FREE of charge. The group make covers for all shapes and sizes – ladies / men’s /kids collections, Christmas specials, summer collections and will even bling up covers for special occasions if required! If you want your line to disappear - these guys can help.

Each cover comes individually sized and packaged and has passed the rigorous infection control requirements of many hospitals across the country.
