Carers rally to support Mansfield community with donations

Its efforts have included supporting John Eastwood Hospice’s Christmas Fayre and donating warm blankets to every client the care team supports.

The team, led by managing director Tiffany Meachim, has selected the Sutto hospice as its nominated 2022 and 2023 charity and donated 70 chocolate selection boxes to be given as gifts to residents on Christmas Day.

A snowy scene and festive fireplace scene were also sourced to include in the hospice’s Santa’s Grotto display, while the sale of raffle tickets has raised £130.

In addition, carers have hand-delivered warm blankets and a Christmas poem to every client.

Tiffany said: “Christmas is a time for giving and we are proud to support the John Eastwood Hospice wherever we can with donations, volunteering and support.

“The Christmas Fayre was a great success, and we supported the event all day, and look forward to continuing to support the Hospice with a variety of fundraising initiatives in 2023.

“We also recognise the impact the cost-of-living crisis is having; it is greatly affecting many of our vulnerable clients and so we have donated warming blankets to every client as a gift, each with an accompanying festive poem.

“It’s been really lovely to share our time, donations and gifts far and wide, and we extend our sincere festive wishes to all clients and the wider community.”
