Today we were in Underhill for all of our Advent Angels deliveries, surprising local people with treats donated by their community.

First up, Ashley Talbot, who was nominated by her mum as a, ‘Well done, I’m so proud of how you’ve coped through lockdown with four children.’ We were delighted to surprise Ashley with panto tickets, chocolates and fizz.

Next, Alison Purnell – nominated by her friend Nikki for supporting her through one of the most challenging times of her life. Nikki told us she couldn’t have managed without Alison’s warmth, kindness and help – what a fabulous neighbour.

Scott Bradshaw was third on today’s list. He was nominated by his friend Jamie as a, ‘Well done,’ for working so hard through the lockdown periods, starting his new food delivery business and helping those in isolation.

Fourth, Dean O’Hara – nominated by his partner as a, ‘Thank you,’ for all the practical and emotional support he gave her and their children this year while she was unwell. Dean was a real rock, taking over the reigns of family life and keeping everything on track without complaint when she needed it.

Lastly, Mr Tom Hobden. Although we didn’t manage to get a photo of Tom, he seemed very happy with his delivery after being nominated by his wife Tracie to cheer him up at the end of a difficult year in which he unexpectedly lost his brother.
