Delivering joy to patients
More than 500 gifts have been donated for New Cross Hospital patients to receive over the festive period thanks to the generosity of customers and staff at Dunelm Wolverhampton.
The presents were given to The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Charity (RWT) as part of the store’s ‘Deliver Joy this Christmas’ appeal which saw customers taking tags from a Christmas tree and buying a present that suited the description.
Lily Page, Store Manager, at the Bilston Road store said it was the best response the store had had.
She said: “We run the campaign every year and each year we are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community. This year we have exceeded our target again which we are so pleased about.
“Everyone has been so kind.”
The gifts were donated to RWT Charity for distribution. They will be taken to Paediatrics, Gem Centre, C18/C19, Cannock Hospital, West Park Hospital, Fracture Clinic, Dermatology, Urgent Care and Phoenix Centre.
Amanda Winwood, RWT Charity Development Manager, said: “We are overwhelmed with the support from Dunelm and our community again this year.
“We have been able to support so many more areas with this year’s donations.
“Being in hospital can be difficult for anyone but at Christmas is even harder as patients are away from family so by showing someone, we care with a little gift will hopefully bring a smile.”
