We appreciate all the support we get from our local communities across the year so at Christmas many of our staff look to give something back – and our Pharmacy’s ‘Give A Gift’ scheme is one way we do it.
For the past few years our Pharmacy team have organised a gift collection, which involves members of staff, and others, taking a tag from a Christmas tree. Each tag has the description of a person on and the individual who takes the tag buys a gift for that person, wraps it and takes it back to Pharmacy for distribution.
The Pharmacy team work with a variety of groups, including the Salvation Army and local care homes, to get the gifts to those who otherwise might not receive a present.
The first two batches of presents were recently handed over, with more than 180 gifts being passed to the Salvation Army and others to Gorleston One To One, who provide community care.
