The perfect gifts from our neighbors in SE1
Representatives from InterHealth Worldwide and Metro Safety spent time in November, out in the community, meeting with local businesses and organisations as part of the Waterloo Community Charity Challenge.
Our challenge was to secure pledges of support from local businesses in SE1, to help support InterHealth's charitable work. InterHealth proactively support the health and wellbeing of relief, development and mission workers around the world and
InterHealth staff loved getting out into the local area and building lasting connections with the people that make the Waterloo Quarter such a special, friendly place.

Why MyHealth?
"As the Country Representative for Mali at Tearfund, I am often caught off guard when I need to travel at short notice.
Preparation can be a real hassle when you’re focussing on many different things. However, I know I can’t do my job well if I’m not healthy and resilient. When I’m ill on assignment it has a huge impact on my work.
MyHealth will make a real difference to those working internationally by providing expert reassurance if problems arise. This means we can get on with our work, trying to transform the lives of those most in need."
Mark Butler, Tearfund
