Roxton Garden Centre brightens up Christmas for Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice with reindeer giveaway

Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice receives the reindeer prize from Roxton Garden Centre

To celebrate the festive period, Roxton Garden Centre has donated a light-up reindeer to the Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice in Moggerhanger as part of its Christmas Magic community campaign.

The campaign which was run by the UK’s largest family-run group, British Garden Centres, saw residents from the local area asked to nominate a worthy group, garden, charity or hospice that has gone above and beyond to receive the reindeer to light up the community and spread festive cheer.

Claire Ward nominated Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice for the competition saying: " The hospice is a place that really deserves a little bit of light at such a wonderful caring place. The staff spread a magical fairy dust to all patients and families. Let’s put a cheer on all those faces at such sad times. “

Amy Stubbs, Project and Development Manager at British Garden Centres said, “We are incredibly proud of the active role British Garden Centres plays in its local communities, and that’s particularly important at this time of year. We are delighted to donate this light reindeer as a symbol of joy, Christmas magic, and community spirit during the festive season.”
