“This November, we are delighted to announce that we are partnering with Boston charity, Local Hope, to help provide care bags for chemotherapy patients at the Pilgrim Hospital.
Over the past 20 years, being part of the community and giving-back has always been an incredibly important focus for our business and therefore; to celebrate this milestone, we wanted to run an initiative that will help raise awareness of this wonderful charity and donate care bags for members of our own community”
~ A word from Clinical Director and owner, Kenny Doig
Local Hope
Established 8 years ago, Local Hope is a Boston based charity run entirely by volunteers who want to make a difference to people’s lives by raising money for local causes.
Their breakthrough project raised £12,000 for an abilities swing for disabled children in Boston’s cental park – the first in Lincolnshire!
Since then, they gone on to provide afternoon teas and care packages for people in sheltered housing, donated a log cabin & gazebo in the outdoor forestry area of the Endeavour Academy, donated 2 wheelchairs for day patients at the Pilgrim Hospital as well as toiletry bags for dementia patients.
Care bags for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
One of the charity’s ongoing projects is donating care bags to patients who are undergoing chemotherapy at the Pilgrim Hospital. These bags cost £15 each and contain the following items suggested by the chemotherapy department at the hospital:
- A thermometer
- A bottle of water
- Packets of mints
- Packets of tissues
- Puzzle book and pen
- Colouring book and crayons
- Hand sanitisers
The sad reality is that most people will know someone who has been affected by cancer and therefore it is especially important to keep this vital project running and support the patients as much as possible.
Our Pledge
Our Dental Practice will donate the cost of a care bag for every new patient that registers with The Private Dental Centre in November.
Please help us spread the word to those who are new to the Lincolnshire area, currently unregistered or looking for a new dentist and together we can raise awareness and funds for this incredible charity.
Local Hope holds regular fundraising events throughout the area. Follow them on Facebook or visit their website for more updates.
If you would like to register as a new patient, please call the practice on 01205 352892 or fill in our contact form here.
We look forward to welcoming you!
