Proudfoot support Scarborough Hospital charity to purchase Christmas Blankets

In 2022, Valerie Aston, Director of Proudfoot, knew of two people who were in hospital over the Christmas Period.

One was a friend who is on end of life at Scarborough Hospital and another friend receiving urgent intensive Chemotherapy after a very recent diagnosis, at York Hospital.

Both friendsy received a blanket as a gift from their hospital on Christmas Day, and these were most appreciated.

At Proudfoot, each year they will donate the cost of the blankets through their Making A Difference Locally fund.

This week a group of volunteers, ‘army of wrappers’, wrapped over 1000 Christmas blankets ready for patients across York and Scarborough, to open on Christmas Day.
