LOCAL? KEECH HOSPICE CARE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Keech Hospice Care need our help, lets try out best to help them.

I'm posting this on behalf of Keech Hospice Care in Luton, who haven't asked for it to be posted. It's being posted as I personally have seen the work they do, through the support they gave my own Mother while fighting cancer.
Before someone asks why I don't do more than this blogpost I'll be clear on that. I'm overstretched right now! I'm working with Travel Choices and the organisers of Operation Santa to do a gift bike run for keech and also helping at the Keech Santa Run, on top of this, volunteer commitments and being a good carer, partner and father to my family I physically can't do much more without burning out. I wish I could do more. I truly meant that.
but as I can't let's get the word out,

If you can help I know the people who use the hospice will be eternally grateful for your help. Please contact Claire on 01582 497839 or email cmcinally@keech.org.uk for details. Please help us raise much needed funds for Keech this Christmas


Thank you to everyone who has already agreed to help us with Smiley Sam during the day and the evening however we still have a few slots that need filling, as you all know this is really important to both the general public who love to see the sleigh in their local supermarkets and visiting their streets and of course how important it is to the hospice in terms of the money it raises for us.
If I am unable to fill all the slots unfortunately some days will have to be cancelled which of course we do not want to do, so I am asking once again if there is any other days and times you could kindly help us with to ensure Smiley Sam makes it out both during the day and the evening.

We have slots for Drivers, Santa’s and Collectors and Coordinators, I will list the dates below, if you are able to help with anything then please get in touch, the coordinator role has a little bit more to it than just collecting but is a great job to do. I am happy to talk to anyone who would like to do this so you fully understand the coordinators role.

Thank you once again
