Staff and members at a Mapperley gym got into the Christmas spirit this week, donating more than 120 presents to mothers and children cared for by the Women’s Aid charity in Nottingham.
For five years the charity has been asking its members and staff at Nuffield Health on Plain Roads, Mapperley, to donate a gift worth between £5 and £10 for either a woman or a child, ranging from birth to 16 years old.
This year, the gifts will be going to help nine local children and their mothers, who aren’t able to live in their own homes this Christmas. In fact one of the children being cared for is just a week old.
John McGuinness, General Manager of Nuffield Health in Mapperley, said: “We’re always so grateful to our generous members for supporting our gift donations to the Women’s Aid charity each year.
“We’ve had a phenomenal response and we hope it can make a real difference to the families being supported by this fantastic charity over the Christmas period.”
