Mansfield-based businesses have been helping Santa out by delivering gifts and goodies donated by staff and customers to elderly and children’s hospital wards.

Staff and customers at businesses at Mansfield Innovation Centre rallied around to donate Christmas gifts to King’s Mill Hospital, Sutton.

Gifts and cash were donated to the hospital’s elderly and children’s wards.

Joy Wilson, hospital community involvement co-ordinator, said: “We used the funds to provide a Christmas ‘goody bag’ for the homeless.

Emma Nunn, centre assistant manager, said: “My team and our businesses within the centre wanted to give something back to the community at this special time of the year, so we arranged a collection of gifts for patients at our local hospital and those less fortunate than ourselves.

“The staff at Kings Mill are very appreciative and we would like to thank everyone who donated.”
