Local opticians bring Christmas cheer to Pine Cottage at Colman Hospital
Coleman Opticians Hearing & Vision Centre in Norwich is already spreading festive cheer by sponsoring a Christmas tree for Pine Cottage at the Colman Hospital. Festive decorations are an important part of patient wellbeing over the Christmas period, helping to create a warm, welcoming, and joyful atmosphere, particularly for those patients who are spending Christmas Day in hospital, away from their friends, family and loved ones.
"We’re proud to support the health and wellbeing of our local community in any way we can, especially during the festive season," said Managing Director Katie Fenn. "Christmas trees symbolise hope and togetherness, and we hope our tree brings a little joy to the patients and staff at Pine Cottage this Christmas."
This year the NCH&C Charitable Fund is hoping to gain Christmas tree sponsorship for each of their community hospitals, including Norwich, Dereham, Kelling Heath, King’s Lynn, North Walsham, Wymondham Swaffham, The Priscilla Bacon Hospice and more.
“Sponsored Christmas trees are part of the charities annual decoration drive to lift the spirits of patients, staff, and visitors all over Norfolk who are spending their Christmas in hospital,” said Charity Development and Project Manager Carol Plunkett. “Tree sponsorship is a great way for businesses to give back to the community that supports them.”
We’d love your business to sponsor a tree at one of our local hospitals this Christmas. To find out more contact the Charitable Fund team: charitablefund@nchc.nsh.uk
