Good News from our region EAST CARLETON STEPS UP FOR NHS When Hilary Springett, from East Carleton, heard from a neighbour that staff morale at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital was low, she and her friend Jenny Cannon decided to do something to cheer them up. “One email went out to the residents of East Carleton asking for donations of either personal care products or treats,” says Hilary. “These could be hand cream, body wash or shampoo, as nearly all the staff have a
shower before going home from the hospital. The treats could be anything — as long as it was individually wrapped. “Obviously, during these very difficult times, all this had to be done adhering to covid regulations. The response we had was amazing. A specific time and day was arranged to collect from doorsteps. My husband and I laughed and said we should take the wheelbarrow! Little did we realise how generous people
were going to be. We staggered home with bags full of goodies and pockets full of envelopes containing cash. “I had the job of shopping, this was made a lot easier by an online delivery and a click and collect. Everything was brought together on Jenny’s dining room table ready to be taken to the Norfolk and Norwich by the hospital fundraising coordinator.” www.eastcarletonvillage.co.uk
