East Bergholt and Brantham branch have been busy making emergency toiletry bags for Ipswich Hospital. Each bag contains essentials - soap, face cloth, toothpaste and toothbrush, tissues. Extras can include shampoo, deodorant, smellies, hand lotion or nightwear. Items like Dentafix, razors, breast pads and maternity pads can be added to suit which ward the bag is for.
The members made fabric wash bags and packed the bags ready to be handed out.
If you would like to get involved too please contact Sandra Gosney, the Community Fundraising Manager on 0300 770 1369 or Mobile: 07562 911355. Sandra will then distribute the wash bags to the various wards and departments. Sandra has an office near entrance 6 at Ipswich hospital, if you can take your donations to the hospital. She has also offered to collect donations from nearby locations.
