Date published: 16 April 2020


Kind-hearted Rose Knipe and her colleagues at Tesco in Failsworth dropped off bags full of groceries to the hard-working key workers at the Royal Oldham Hospital.

Rose, the community champion at the Tesco store in Failsworth, said: "We contacted the Royal Oldham hospital to ask if we could drop off some donations. 

"I have made some care bags for the staff and one of the other colleagues got hand cream gifts made up.

"There were other donations from the staff and the company.

"The staff at the hospital are doing such a great job.

"We have already donated to North Manchester General and Salford Royal.

"We were told to take the bags to Oldham's Swan Bereavement Centre to drop off.

"Wendy Lindsay drove me and Vicky Ford donated the hand creams, so big thanks go to those two too..

"We all hope the staff enjoy the goodies - they should keep them going for a while!"
