Thank you bags for NHS staff

Concerned by the heavy workload and long hours of hospital staff, members of Pershore Benefice and Bredon Hill Group Churches have put together attractive gift bags for NHS teams in Worcestershire to say thank you!  

“We have made up lots of pretty paper bags, each filled with small treats,” says organiser Sara Speed, “plus a finishing touch – a hand-made ‘thank you’ heart.”

Church members and other friends around Pershore & Bredon Hill have been donating small items to fill the bags, including toiletries, hand cream, lip balm, chocolates, biscuits and small jars of jam.  Packages are designed for both male and female staff.  Over 100 treat bags have been delivered to Worcester Hospital ICU and more are coming together for Pershore Community Hospital

Sara continues: “We know how exhausting and stressful it is working long hours with very ill patients, so this surprise treat to take home may add some cheer.  There’s a real need here and donations have poured in – thank you to everyone who has helped.”
