Bramley Children’s Home Upliftment Project
On 31 October 2025, The Medicine Shop and Adcock Ingram Sponsors of Brave partnered to bring imagination to life at Bramley Children’s Home.
Together, they created a magical afternoon filled with excitement, laughter, and a brand-new treehouse.
Thanks to a generous R14 375 donation, the treehouse upgrade gave the children more than just a place to play. It became a space to dream, to belong, and to feel joy in their own garden once again.
This small act of care will be remembered by the children and caregivers for years to come.
Messina Pharmacy Champions Community Wellness
The event empowered locals to take charge of their health in a fun and accessible way. Together, we’re making preventative care part of everyday life.
Caring for Creatures:

Through this heartfelt CSI initiative, Pharmaclin rallied their community to raise funds in-store, while Adcock Ingram OTC contributed R25,000 towards Zeehan’s medical treatment.
