Peterborough family make packages to say ‘thank you ‘ to key workers

The Smith family, Orton Malbourne have been creating care packages for key workers, which have contained little treats like snacks, skincare products, candles and a personalised coaster to ‘thank them for their hard work.’

The personalised coasters, the boys Shaun-Junior (6) and Logan-Andrew (4) have been painting personalised messages on the coasters, such as: “Thank you for your hard work” and “You’re our superhero” and colourful drawings of rainbows and hearts.

Donna Smith was amazed at her children wanting to give back, in such a creative way. “My six year old wanted to collect pine-cones to deliver to everybody. I said they might be a little dirty. So we took some logs to make something out of them and it started from there. We wanted to give people something they could keep and would last a long time.”

Having distributed over 140 bags, donations have poured in from people across Peterborough which Donna is so thankful for as she ‘couldn’t have done it without them’.

The gift packages so far have gone out to care homes, supermarket workers, lorry drivers, Peterborough City Hospital, pharmacists, teachers and other key workers.

If you have any gifts you’d like to donate to Donna’s care packages, give Donna a call on 07594939457.
