HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE LEWIS FOUNDATION

As our charity packs start to flow back out to the different hospitals that we support across the Midlands area, it was great today to visit Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust , Oncology at Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust and Lincoln County Hospital Macmillan and Breast Unit.

At Sherwood Forest Hospital based in Nottinghamshire, our packs make their way to day patients and inpatients. With the support of the fantastic Macmillan team who co-ordinate this, alongside the hospital volunteers enables patients to access our packs at the hospital.

Northampton General Hospital our packs are placed on our gift shelf next to the reception desk. This means once you have checked in for your appointment, you help yourself to a gift of the shelf. These packs have kindly been funded by our fantastic supporter Scott Bader Commonwealth who make it possible.

At Lincoln County Hospital our gift packs are distributed within the Breast Unit, Macmillan Info Pod and to wards within the hospital setting as and when needed. We could not do this without the fantastic support of the hospital staff who do this on our behalf.

We love seeing and hearing about the joy the work we are doing brings, which we could not do without your support. Huge thank you for being a part of making a difference!

ANEESH RUNS LOVE LUTON RUN FEST IN AID OF THE LEWIS FOUNDATION

Huge thank you to Aneesh Patel who is running Love Luton RunFest in aid of our charity today.

Aneesh choose to support The Lewis Foundation for the following reasons:

I came across the Lewis Foundation at one of their store fronts in the Luton Point. I got chatting to the founders of the charity who told me about all the wonderful work they do for adult cancer patients and was touched by their story.?

Having seen first hand the journey people have to go through with cancer I felt it would be good to raise some money for this great charity.

Aneesh has raised ￡500 funding over 138 gift packs for cancer patients.

Please show him your support and if you would like to donate, head to: https://www.justgiving.com/page/aneesh-patel-love-luton-run-fest-2024
