Hide AdChristopher Hill, managing director of Medical Device Distributor, said: “We hope that this gesture will show our gratitude for the hospice and the nursing homes’ continued efforts during this difficult time as well as easing some of the cost pressure associated with the increase in demand for PPE.”
The masks were handed over by Christopher himself on Monday.
He added: “We do have a few more boxes of masks if there are any other local care home businesses or similar organisations who might need them.”
Tracey Joyce, who is the deputy trust manager at the John Eastwood Hospice, said: "It was quite unexpected and it is always a lovely gesture when businesses in our community want to us help out.
