Biggest #thankyou ever for all the patient trolley donations we’ve received!

We have been absolutely overwhelmed by your generosity towards our patient drinks trolley request. Thank you so much!

Hundreds of bottles of spirits and wine, cans of beer and cholcolate snacks have been donated to Wirral Hospice St John’s in the last few weeks. The donations have been coming and coming and coming… Our patient trolley will be stocked up for years to come at this rate!

This all came about thanks to Facebook Memories throwing up an old post of ours from two years ago, and it getting liked and shared hundreds/thousands of times!

We are so very grateful to everyone for thinking of our patients – they are offered a drink or two under medical supervision to help them relax and to help stimulate appetite. We must stress that it isn’t a carnival atmosphere at the Hospice (well not every day!) but it is a happy and homely place so a small drink can be a wonderful tonic for our patients, as many of us will appreciate.

Some of the bottles we’ve been donated are probably not appropriate for patient consumption (Tequila, Absinthe…) and we have  more than enough spirits to last us a few years – so we will be using some the donations as fundraising raffle prizes to in turn help raise money for the Hospice’s day-to-day care and support of our patients and their families.

If you would like to make a small donation in lieu of bottles for the trolley, you can send a cheque made payable to ‘Wirral Hospice St John’s’ to Wirral Hospice St John’s, Fundraising Office, Mount Road, Higher Bebington, Wirral CH63 6JE or you can text DRNK15 £2, £5 or £10 to 70070.

Thank you so much!
