£10,000 TO HELP THE NHS

This wonderful family have donated £10,000 to the Silver Star Society in recognition of the care they received during May May’s pregnancy resulting in their daughter Tippi. Here is their story:

‘We decided to donate £10,000 to the Silver Star Society to match the funds we received from the Government at the start of the Covid pandemic. We have been fortunate in that our shop, The Peking Chef, has managed to stay open and busy throughout. We wanted to give back to a charity in our community. We wanted to help the NHS for real, not just clapping for carers.

We received our greatest gift, our daughter Tippi. She was born at the Women’s Centre prematurely due to complications and we credit the outstanding team, especially midwife Ita, (now retired) whose fast decision making, we are sure saved Tippi’s life. We hope that our donation can support other families through the ups and downs of what is supposed to be, but often isn’t, the happiest day of your life. We hope that other businesses that have been similarly fortunate throughout the pandemic will follow our example and give back to their community freely where it will do the most good.’
