|
|
|
|
We were delighted to welcome Veritas Primary Academy, Tillington Manor Primary and Parkside Primary schools to County Hospital in Stafford last week who all finished off their school year by supporting UHNM Charity with donations of ‘County Care Packs’.
Tasha Brown, Fundraising Officer at County Hospital said: “Pupils and teachers from all three schools have been very kind with their donations of essential items for the benefit of our patients here at County Hospital. They have been very creative in their fundraising for them, holding cake sales and other events, and pupils have enjoyed decorating the bags with loving and colourful designs along with messages of hope.
“These donations have demonstrated the gift of giving can be small and simple and all year round.” More>
