A housebuilder with six developments across the Teesside region has donated Christmas gifts to our charity, thanks to the generosity of kind-hearted Teessiders.
Miller Homes launched its appeal just a few weeks ago to provide Christmas gifts to patients on our elderly wards. They offered sales centres on developments and its head office in Newton Aycliffe as drop off points for the gifts.
Donna Clark is sales director at Miller Homes Teesside. She said: “We would like to thank staff, contractors and customers for their extremely kind donations which has seen over 135 presents delivered.
“We received a fantastic array of gifts, from slippers and pyjamas to adult colouring books and giftsets. We have been truly overwhelmed by the generosity of local people.”
The gifts will be given to older people in our community who have long term health conditions such as dementia. Those experiencing ill health on our elderly wards over the festive period will also be given gifts.
Donna continued: “We were delighted that members of our team were able to deliver the gifts personally which has made such a difference to both patients and our Miller team.
“We hope that these gifts will bring a little joy to those who are spending Christmas in hospital this year.”
Suzi Campbell is fundraising coordinator for our charity, North Tees and Hartlepool Together. She commented: “Our heartfelt thanks go to the team at Miller Homes Teesside and also to all who donated gifts.
“They really have made a huge difference to our patients and we would like wish everyone a very happy Christmas.”
