Winners – Spreading seasonal joy & thanks for deserving carers…

A couple from Crewe, England who won £6million back in 2016 on the National Lottery, put their thinking caps on with fellow jackpot winners to bring some early Christmas cheer to deserving carers during what has been a challenging 2020.

Wanting to show their appreciation for the ‘selfless’ actions of hard-working carers in the area; Michele and Kevin formed a Christmas hamper group with other Lottery winners from the comfort of their own homes due to current coronavirus restrictions to create more than 100 luxury hampers to show seasonal thanks. Packed with a range of goodies for carers from Age Concern Central Lancashire as a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for all of the carers’ tireless work throughout the COVID pandemic.

Michele said: “All the efforts and lengths these carers go to, so selflessly and the sacrifices they make every single day, to provide care and love, is incredible. I was absolutely thrilled to be involved in such a heart-warming project to say ‘thank you’ and show our appreciation for all they do”.

“I absolutely love Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed crafting the hampers. Everyone all needs a bit of festive cheer at the moment so it was fantastic to be able to help make Christmas arrive early!”

The winners, who under normal circumstances would normally be brought together by The National Lottery in the run-up to Christmas to help support various charities, adapted their thinking this year by creating a Whatsapp group so they could work from their own homes but share ideas and creations with each other as they made their hampers; Also joining the festive hamper making were some of the biggest region lottery winners, including Patricia and John Gill, from Warrington, who won £1M in 2015 and Sharon and Nigel Mather, from Bowdon in Cheshire, who won an amazing £12M in 2010.

The hampers, after being quarantined appropriately to ensure all required guidelines were adhered to, were delivered to Age Concern Central Lancashire’s Dementia Day Support Centres in Bamber Bridge and Fulwood Preston, aboard a fabulous festive truck.
