Last Christmas is now just a distant memory for most of us, but we couldn’t let this issue pass without thanking you all for your overwhelming response to our Christmas Appeal. Your generosity astounded us, and wrapping and delivering all the wonderful presents for our patients was a truly moving experience for all of us. Along with further donations from the local community, the charity was able to give every patient in hospital a gift on Christmas day. Thank you one and all from the bottom of our hearts! Thanks too to our community partners, including the Coventry Building Society’s Northampton branch which kindly accepted presents from the public as an alternative drop off point.
Coles presented a £480 cheque towards our chemotherapy suite refurbishment. They chose to support the appeal as Michelle’s sister was treated there recently. Well done and thank you!
Northampton Lions support the Chemo Suite Cancer patient June Wilkinson came in to meet the staff in the Chemotherapy suite and present them with a cheque for £250. The money was raised by the Northampton Lions, of which June is a member, through the staging of an Autumn Fayre they held at the Beehive in October.
