Mansfield Building Society puts smiles on faces at hospital children’s ward

Mansfield Building Society has donated 50 cuddly stags together with activity books and stickers to King’s Mill Hospital’s Children’s Ward.

The donation from The Mansfield is aimed at putting a smile on the face of children receiving treatment at the hospital.

Stanley the Stag, the Society’s new mascot, joined the Society earlier this year as part of its children’s offer. As well as being the Society’s mascot, Stanley takes the lead role in the Society’s financial education activity booklet.

Stanley colouring sheets are also available on the Society’s website at mansfieldbs.co.uk/Stanley for anyone to download and enjoy free of charge.

Marketing Manager, Dale Twigger, explained why the Society was pleased to make the donation: “Ordinarily, we would love to be out there engaging with our community because, as a local building society, this is really important to us. Whilst we have had members of staff volunteering and offering a helping hand, the social distancing measures have made it quite hard for us to get out and about as much as we would normally.

So we’ve been thinking about ways we could do more to support the community at this time and the donation to King’s Mill seemed a perfect fit. We really hope the donation helps put a smile on young faces having to go through hospital treatment at this challenging time.”

Community Involvement Coordinator, Joy Wilson, who received the donations said: “We’re very grateful for this donation to our Children’s Ward from The Mansfield. Donations like these that give our patients something to do whilst they are in hospital make a real difference and we are sure that patients and families on Ward 25 will really benefit from them.”
