Its catchment area runs from Marlow to Medmenham, Marlow  Bottom, Little Marlow, Bourne End and Wooburn Green. Patients are admitted via  their GP. Since 1991, there has also been a day hospital and a family health  clinic on the site. The day hospital is used by elderly people who need  treatment, but not an overnight stay. The clinic houses community health  services including children's dental treatment, speech therapy, physiotherapy,  chiropody, Macmillan nurses, health visitors and Marlow Epics (who look after  the elderly).

An active League of Friends supports the community hospital. It has funded  several projects and its members help in the hospital.

LETS
Marlow & District Local Exchange Trading  Scheme

Sponsored by Wycombe District Council.

LETS is a sophisticated bartering network. Its aim is to help to meet the  needs of the local community by trading skills, goods, services and hire of  equipment. These non-profit making schemes exist in the UK, Australia, Canada,  the USA and many other countries worldwide.

Marlow & District LETS was formed in early 1994 and has enjoyed a high  level of success in a very short time. Members elect a Core Group every year to  run the system.

Trading

LETS operates as a trading system with members exchanging goods and services;  the unit of exchange is the BART. In general an hour's work, although  negotiable, is charged at 10 BARTS. A directory, issued to members, shows the  services each member offers. A member requiring a service contacts a member  offering the service and agrees the terms of the transaction. There is no  obligation on members to accept a request.

Once the task has been completed, the recipient gives the provider a LETS  Voucher, made out for the appropriate number of BARTS, which he or she then  sends to the Administrator, who records these transactions in both members'  accounts. A record of all trading is circulated on a regular basis.

Making Friends

Marlow & District LETS offers many social and economic benefits. Regular  Core Group meetings and LETS get togethers are held. Information on these events  can be found in our regular newsletters.

Further Information

For more details, including how to join, please contact Val Simpson on 01628  484149 (after 6pm) or John Laker (01628 481792).
