Carers Week 2018

17/06/2018 2 By Smile For ME

Celebrating National Carers Week 2018 has now come to an end. Thank you for all your support and kind donations which enabled us to send 56 Bear Hugs Smiles and to thank those amazing carers for all they do. We were so happy that as well as creating Smiles for deserving carers we were able to support Bear Hugs Gifts at the same time. Bear Hugs is a brilliant business founded by Faye, a chronic illness sufferer, to spread a little kindness and a hug. A huge thank you to the whole team at Bear Hugs for helping us celebrate carers. You have been lovely to work with and we can’t thank you enough for helping us create smiles.

Below are some of the lovely pictures and messages we have received, thank you. We have put them altogether so those who have kindly donated to Smile For ME and made this possible can see what a difference they have helped make.

Joanne – I was over the moon with my mother’s carer package that came today! It totally made her day! She was so touched! You girls are real angels for how much you bless others! Can’t thank you enough my mother does everything for me and definitely deserved a smile package. Xxx

Louise – #chippertuesday is brought to you today by the fact that this week, 11th – 17th June, is National Carers Week. This is a week dedicated to all the people who care for the professional poorly people in their lives & often put others needs above their own! Smile For ME a little while back was taking nominations for carers to receive a Bear Hug to help those of us who have carers say a big thank you to them & make them feel a little bit more special! Of course, I nominated my mum, she is amazing! Her bearhug arrived today & she was so surprised! ?? She loves everything included, especially the Soy Sunday Morning candle as it smells like her favourite chocolates, Coffee Creams! Thank you so very much Alice, Faye & your teams for putting this together & making my mum’s day! ???
