We recently delivered a box filled with Udderly Smooth Cream bought with a fabulous donation from Andrew Mead of St Bega Lodge, St Bees.

Udder Cream is a highly moisturising, water based skincare cream used to treat dry, chapped and rough skin on the face, hands and body - common side effects from chemotherapy and radiation.

Thanks, Andrew! This donation will go a long way 🫶🏻

Well wow, oh wow! Look at all of these amazing goodies 🤩

Huge thanks to The Inspection and Certification Group at Sellafield for donating funds from their Race Night 🐎 You might remember they handed over a cheque for over £2.4K and with the money, we have created care packages to be handed out to patients. The packs include smellies and products from The Bodyshop, Rituals & Grace Cole as well as pocket hearts, hard boiled sweets and body scrubs.

Your donation and effort will brighten up the days of so many… so thank you 🫶🏻
