CLINICAL staff at St David’s Hospice received a kind donation of sweets and food goodies from the TK Maxx store Prestatyn.

Chel Sealey, team leader at the Prestatyn store, organised the donation.

TK Maxx stores across the country have chosen to donate their date sensitive and seasonal stock after the government announced all "non-essential" shops must close down to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Chel said: "St David’s Hospice is an amazing place and is at the heart of the community.

"In 2017, they look after my brother. It was only for a short time, but the end of life care he received was overwhelming. They cared for us all, including our large family.

“It is nice to be able to give a little something to help the staff through tough times”

In addition to the treats for the staff, the adult hospice has also received a £,1000 donation as part of the TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation Community Fund.

The Community Fund, which has been set up to help local grassroots charities who are working hard in the fight against Covid-19, asked associates from the TK Maxx and Homesense stores to nominate charities within their community who are doing great work in supporting the most vulnerable.

Hayley Coughlin, store manager at TK Maxx in Llandudno, nominated her local adult hospice for the fund and St David’s Hospice received £1,000 towards their survival.

Adrian Owen, Conwy community fundraiser for the Llandudno based hospice, said: "Big thank you to the staff at TK Maxx for their generous donations. It is a really thoughtful gesture, the treats will definitely be enjoyed by our clinical team and the monetary donation will make a big difference to our patients and their families in our community.”
