Grantham Sunrise Rotary donates towels and toiletries to St Barnabas Hospice

At Grantham Sunrise Rotary, we are dedicated to creating meaningful change within our community. One of our recent initiatives focused on providing dignity and comfort to individuals receiving hospice care at home in Grantham. We proudly donated £500 worth of towels, toiletries, and other essential items to St Barnabas, a local hospice charity supporting those living with life-limiting illnesses.

This initiative is part of a collaborative effort to support one of our District Governor’s designated charities for this Rotary year. Through a combination of district grants and our own fundraising efforts, we secured the funds to purchase and deliver bed linen, towels, face cloths, and personal hygiene products to St Barnabas in Grantham. These items will directly benefit their vital home assistance services, helping clients maintain dignity and comfort during challenging times.

Their work is a lifeline for many, and we are honoured to contribute to their mission.

Reflecting on the Project’s Impact

Rotarian Deb Wylie, who played a key role in the project, shared her thoughts:
“This has been a worthwhile hands-on project for our members and a great opportunity to build a strong relationship with our local St Barnabas.”

We’re also incredibly grateful for the generosity of local supporters like Ingrid, who supported us with a generous discount. This help us maximise the impact of our funds. It’s this spirit of collaboration that makes projects like these possible.
