Hug On A Tray

03/09/2026

I had the privilege a couple of weeks ago to meet Heidi, the lovely daughter of Laurence Gough, a much loved husband, father, grandfather, and also one of our patients in Bexley Wing, Laurence was extremely grateful for the "Hug on a Tray" girls provision during the time he spent on the wards. He was certainly very much loved and respected by his many friends, so it was a wonderful gesture that they, along with family, very kindly raised an amazing total of £1,304-44p to benefit Hugonatray in memory of this lovely man at his service of thanksgiving last week.
We send heartfelt condolences to all Laurence's family and friends at this difficult time, and would like to say "Thank You so very much" this donation is wonderful, and will help so many other patients.
We send much love, hugs and blessings to every one of you, from the " Hug" Girls ### 🤗🫂🥰💕 Bless you Laurence, may you Rest in Peace. ###

We met up with this lovely lad, Chris, last Friday 🥰 we went over to meet him after he contacted us to say he had raised £130 for "Hug on a Tray" in memory of his beloved mum Anne Charlton, his much loved mum passed away recently, and Chris wanted to meet us personally to hand us this very kind donation. 🤗💕 XX
It's lovely to be able to meet people face to face those who do support us in any way, so it was a privilege and a pleasure to meet Chris and thank him personally. Bless you love, and may your beloved mum ' Rest in Peace' 🫂🙏XX
Sending you much love, and many hugs from 'The Hug Girls' 🥰🤗💕💕XX

Fabulous!! The reclining chairs have arrived on both J88 and J89 Bexley Wing of St James's Hospital 😍🤗💕 we are awaiting a date when members of Otley Athletic Club can come over for a photo shoot! This amazing group raised more than £16,000 for Hug on a Tray (Cheverest) so we ordered chairs for sixteen of the wards! We are now amalgamated with "The Friends of the Leeds Centre for Leukemia, Lymphoma & Myeloma" and this wonderful charity have matched that donation so every room will receive a brand new chair 💺 💺 the "Friends" have been going since 1979 and provided for the same patients as "Hug" all that time, we have been providing free TV provision for 9 years through them, and we couldn't be happier coming together as one, especially as every penny raised goes straight to benefit Haematology patients! Hug on a Tray continues as it always did except for the shop in Otley. The "Friends" have been brilliant! We're looking forward to working together proper!! 🤗🤗💕💕XX Sending love and hugs to all our supporters ❤️ 🤗🥰💕###

We would like to say ' Thank you so much' for this very kind gesture which is really appreciated! 🤗🤗
We are so fortunate and blessed by the amazing support we receive from our community 🥰🥰 and we will miss being in the shop, but very happy to be continuing the charity in the hospital, and popping up around town with our famous "Prize every time Tombola" dates and venue's coming up in a couple of days.

Wow!! What a fabulous surprise! 😍 Adam Jackson from "Plumbase" in Yeadon, sent a fabulous donation of more than £1,000 in January to the "Hug on a Tray" shop from their wonderful staff who have done fundraising events for us for the past few years! 🤗🤗💕💕 we would like to say a massive "Thank You" to every one of them, and to the customers who've supported and donated to all their efforts over the years! 🤗🤗😍😍 We filled in the "Big Cheque" a while ago! Then a couple of days ago, received another email to say they had raised more!! Hence the amount had to be changed from £1,100 to an amazing £2,100. 😲😲💖💖 we are extremely grateful and so appreciative of their ongoing support and sponsorship! Such a generous gesture, we are certainly blessed. 🫂🫂 Thank you again, sending, as always, love, hugs and blessings to you all.
🥰🥰😍😍🤗🤗###
