Thanks to Great Bear Employees
Fundraising for Marlow House
Employees at Great Bear (warehousing and distribution) based in Desborough are raising money to support Marlow House. Jo Rock and Lesley Holmes are their charity champions and have been very busy this year running raffles and making Easter boxes for each of our clients. Pictured here is Oksana (one of the winners of a raffle) holding her prize.
A huge thank you to Jo and Lesley and all participants in the various activities. Fundraising is always paramount to us, but never more so than now when we’ve had to suspend our own events e.g. monthly coffee mornings and quizzes.
On the Monday before Easter Jo (black top) and Lesley (pink top) delivered 72 Easter gift boxes to Marlow House. That is correct, they raised enough money to buy goodies to make 72 in order that each of our clients receive one! VPK (Rigid) Packaging very kindly donated the boxes. Jo and Lesley presented one to each of our clients that were at Marlow House that day and the rest were delivered during the week, together with meals on wheels. Needless to say, it was very touching to hear comments when delivering boxes. Everyone was tickled pink and some couldn’t believe the trouble Jo and Lesley had gone to. A huge thank you to all at Great Bear and to VPK too.
The section below is a small photo gallery of of Jo and Lesley at Marlow House.

SHOE BOX SURPRISE
A lovely lady called Natasha Golding organised in the local community, through her Facebook page, to have a number of Christmas 'Shoe Boxes' donated, to be shared amongst the elderly in the local area.
We were very lucky to be approached and had 32 presents donated to our clients.
This was absolutely amazing and our clients were so surprised and thankful for the generosity shown. .
A big big thank you to you Natasha for working so hard with the local people of Desborough to organise such a wonderful thing, especially after the year we've all had.
