Thank you so much for your generous and kind donation. This year we have bought all 32 patients at Newton a Christmas present which consists of a wash bag with toiletries in and each member of staff chocolates and pens for which we will hand out nearer to the big day.
So sorry to hear about Jack. I have worked at Newton for 30 years so I can honestly say what a pleasure it was seeing Santa and I know that the staff look forward to it and the patients absolutely loved it.
Thank you again. Please let me take this opportunity to wish you all and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Kindest regards
Dawn
