Our Back Home Boxes initiative embodies the spirit of community compassion, offering support to individuals living alone as they return home from hospital. These thoughtfully curated boxes are generously gifted by a local business and filled with essential food items, lovingly crafted kindness tokens, heartfelt get-well cards from local schoolchildren, and cosy knitted blankets made by community members.
Volunteers actively engage in collecting donations from the community and distributing the Back Home Boxes directly to patients within the local hospital. This initiative provides a tangible demonstration of care and solidarity, ensuring that those returning home feel welcomed, supported, and connected to their community.
Our mission at Compassionate Inverclyde is to brighten the Easter season for patients in Inverclyde Royal Hospital. Through the generosity of our community, we provide thoughtful gifts, including crochet blankets, toiletries, crème eggs, Easter chocolates, and handmade cards from local primary school children.
These gifts offer a touch of comfort and joy to patients who may be facing a difficult time. By partnering with caring individuals and organisations, we can ensure that every patient receives a special Easter treat.
Join us in spreading Easter cheer! Donate today to help us continue our mission.
