Paying it forward
We were visited last week by a lovely gentleman who wanted to return the kindness shown to him while out shopping in Andover. He had forgotten his phone and wallet and didn’t realise until he got to the till at B&M Stores. A lovely couple offered to pay for his shopping and refused to let him get the £10 back to them. To return the kindness shown to him he popped over to the hospice and donated the £10 to us.
