A Sprinkle of Sweetness and a Whole Lot of Heart at Shotton Mill
The air at Shotton Mill wasn't just filled with the usual industrious hum this past Easter season; there was a real buzz of warmth and generosity. Our incredible team, proving they're not just experts in paper production, truly egg-celled themselves in spreading some much-needed cheer.
The mission? To collect Easter eggs for those who could use a little extra joy. And did they deliver! A vibrant collection of 91 Easter eggs piled up, each one a testament to the big hearts within our Shotton Mill family.
These chocolate treasures weren't destined for just anyone. They were carefully delivered to very special places: Gap Personnel, our valued recruitment partners, supporting the truly inspiring Ty Gobaith children’s hospice.
Ty Gobaith holds a particularly special place in our hearts. This remarkable organization provides unwavering support to over 750 local families navigating the unimaginable challenges of caring for seriously ill children or coping with the profound loss of a child. Their dedication to these families is nothing short of heroic.
Knowing that Ty Gobaith was planning special Easter Egg hunts and activities for the children and their families over the bank holiday weekend, our Shotton Mill employees felt a deep desire to contribute. Each donated egg was a small gesture, but collectively, they represented a powerful message of care and solidarity.
Joanne Mandley, our Head of Human Resources, beamed with pride as she reflected on the team's efforts. "We are so proud of the tremendous effort that Shotton Mill employees have made once again," she shared. "It's truly thanks to the wonderful team we have here on site that we can make contributions like this."
This initiative wasn't about grand gestures; it was about a team coming together, fueled by a shared sense of community and compassion. It's a reminder that even small acts of kindness can bring significant comfort and happiness.
As Easter Sunday dawned, we knew that a little bit of Shotton Mill spirit was making its way into the lives of the children and families supported by Ty Gobaith. It's a feeling that warms us from the inside out. Wishing Ty Gobaith and all the families they support a very Happy Easter, filled with moments of joy, hope, and connection.
