The Tavern pub in Belton hosted a shaving and waxing event that resulted in more than £1,000 being raised for our Neonatal Unit.
Andy Yildiz bravely said goodbye to his very long beard and Kevin Comer decided leg waxing wasn’t painful enough… so ended up getting most of his body waxed as well to raise extra money. They then visited the Unit to hand over £805 of the total plus items from the ward’s wish list which they purchased with the rest of the amazing amount raised.
The Neonatal Unit is very close to both Andy and Kevin’s families hearts after both their daughters were looked after on the ward and they wanted to give something back to all the staff, and support families using the Unit in the future.
Regulars at The King Alfred pub in Burnt Hill Way, Carlton Colville, stepped up to the oche at a darts fund-raising evening, organised by Aaron Smith and his family, that helped raise £1000 for our Sandra Chapman Centre.
The darts evening raised £850 – but this was rounded-up to a £1000 thanks to the generosity of the landlord of the King Alfred and Alfie’s pub Dean Bunn, who also supported the event by providing the function room.
Steve and the team at Plumbase in Great Yarmouth are regular supporters of our hospital charity.
Their latest donation came just before Christmas when Steve visited the hospital to hand over a cheque for £1555, money raised throughout the year through various events, supported by Plumbase customers.
Plumbase support the Trust’s annual ‘Paget’s People’ staff awards – and some of the money raised will go towards helping with next year’s event.
The Halesworth Bookshop team and customers donated an assortment of books for children and adults at our hospital on Christmas Day. Shop owner Abbie Clements delivered bags full of books, for patients of all ages.
Norfolk-based construction company R G Carter kindly donated a bumper consignment of Christmas gifts for both our patients and staff. RG Carter Pre-Construction Director Paul Cushing is pictured delivering the bags of festive treats.
Lavish Life Competitions have continued their generous Christmas donations to our hospital – the third year they have provided a bumper amount of gifts, toys, and games for distribution to areas where young patients visit over the festive period.
