Pupils from St Mary’s Catholic Voluntary Academy are taking part in the first Carol Service to celebrate the special relationship Grantham and District Hospital has with the town and surrounding communities.
The school children will join in the singing of favourite Christmas Carols as well as perform their own set musical piece at the Carol Service on Thursday 11 December at 7pm, in St Wulfram’s Church, Grantham.
Deputy Head Teacher Olivia Mumford said: “We are thrilled to be part of this wonderful celebration that brings our community together. The Carol Service is a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to share the joy of music while showing appreciation for the incredible work done at Grantham and District Hospital. It’s a privilege to support such an important event in our town.”
The Carol Service has been organised by United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity. Charity Manager Ben Petts said: “As the hospital’s charity we are committed to transforming the healthcare at Grantham and District Hospital. We know how people living and working in and around Grantham feel about their local hospital and this evening is a celebration of that special relationship.
“It is a way for staff, supporters and anyone who has been a patient at the hospital to come together and enjoy an evening of festive cheer.”
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity works closely with staff at Grantham and District Hospital and provides those extras for staff and patients that NHS budgets are unable to fund. Recent projects include equipment for the Urology Diagnostic Room and sensory bags to support patients with autism or learning disabilities.
