Craigton Medical Practice

It's Thank You Thursday and this week we're thanking the lovely staff at Craigton Medical Practice who held a collection for us in the practices 🎅

Not only are they a Referral Agency, they're a long term supporter and have held an annual Christmas collection for us for years. Two of their fantastic team came down to our warehouse to drop it off and we're so grateful for everything they donated this year 🤩

Thank you for your donations and ongoing support 💚

If this has inspired you to donate, our Christmas Appeal is running and you can donate here https://link.justgiving.com/v1/campaign/donate/campaignGuid/af66f16c-7351-4b31-be30-59091a3a76e0?currency=GBP&amount=25 🔗

The practice would like to take this opportunity to wish Dr Smith a long and healthy retirement. Dr Smith has been with the practice for a very long time and has impacted the lives of many people in the local area. Feels like the end of an Era.
