Hug On A Tray

Hug On A Tray We fund the "Hug on a Tray" appeal and
provide FREE drinks and snacks to all patients/Family members & visitors to the Haematology wards J88/89 Bexley Wing # # #

"Hug on a Tray" is so named because every patient on the Haematology wards freely receive a tray with everything they and their visiting families and friends need to make a drink and snack, this comes in the form of a "goodie bag" which is refilled on request, there is a kettle provided in the rooms for this use. FREE TV has been provided in wards J88 & J89 for the past five years since 2016 at a

cost of Β£26,400 a year, we have just paid for all of 2022. All this free provision comes from a group of 'not so young!' Girls from Otley who tirelessly fundraise to make this possible. We strive to bring a little bit of comfort to all patients, before covid we visited almost daily to give out "Hugs" to anyone who needed one, both patients and staff. We also provide all free drinks and snacks in J87 ambulatory ward, outpatients, and the patients hotel. We hope to continue for a long time to come, but just now because of the covid situation, after paying out for another full year of TV for two wards, not being able to fundraise, our funds are depleted, so we are asking if anyone could possibly make a small donation towards the "Hug on a Tray" appeal, that would be so appreciated. We are a small community group, not a big charity, not connected to any NHS funding. We have a PayPal account with a link attached to this page. Hugonatray.org
Thank you so much for reading this, we love what we do and the wonderful people we meet and we will continue to strive to continue as long as possible. Sending love, hugs and blessings, from the Girls.

We met up with this lovely lad, Chris, last Friday πŸ₯° we went over to meet him after he contacted us to say he had raised Β£130 for "Hug on a Tray" in memory of his beloved mum Anne Charlton, his much loved mum passed away recently, and Chris wanted to meet us personally to hand us this very kind donation. πŸ€—πŸ’• XX

Fabulous!! The reclining chairs have arrived on both J88 and J89 Bexley Wing of St James's Hospital πŸ˜πŸ€—πŸ’• we are awaiting a date when members of Otley Athletic Club can come over for a photo shoot! This amazing group raised more than Β£16,000 for Hug on a Tray (Cheverest) so we ordered chairs for sixteen of the wards! We are now amalgamated with "The Friends of the Leeds Centre for Leukemia, Lymphoma & Myeloma" and this wonderful charity have matched that donation so every room will receive a brand new chair πŸ’Ί πŸ’Ί the "Friends" have been going since 1979 and provided for the same patients as "Hug" all that time, we have been providing free TV provision for 9 years through them, and we couldn't be happier coming together as one, especially as every penny raised goes straight to benefit Haematology patients! Hug on a Tray continues as it always did except for the shop in Otley. The "Friends" have been brilliant! We're looking forward to working together proper!! πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸ’•XX Sending love and hugs to all our supporters ❀️ πŸ€—πŸ₯°πŸ’•###
