A hospital is asking people in Lichfield and Burntwood the chance to take part in a crutch amnesty.

The appeal is being made by Good Hope Hospital who want patients to return any disused crutches they have lying around the house.

Alan Baldwin, A&E manager at the hospital, said:

> “Don’t be afraid to return your old crutches – we won’t be telling anyone off, but will just be very grateful for their return. We send patients home with these everyday and it is surprisingly rare that we get them back.  
>  
> “The crutch amnesty will give people the chance to clear out the crutches that have been cluttering their home for months and will replenish our stocks here at Good Hope – so we’re all winners!”

Crutches can be returned to Good Hope A&E reception from August 27 to 30.
