Spreading Festive Cheer: Mansfield Town FC Visits King’s Mill Hospital

The festive spirit was alive and well at King’s Mill Hospital yesterday, as players and staff from Mansfield Town Football Club, alongside the Mansfield Town Community Trust, paid a special visit to the children’s ward. Alongside manager Nigel Clough, his coaching team, and everyone’s favourite mascot, Sammy the Stag, the squad brought bundles of gifts to brighten the holiday season for poorly children and their families.

The team took time to meet with patients, families, and hospital staff, sharing smiles, laughter, and Christmas cheer. Of course, there were plenty of photo opportunities too, making the day even more memorable for everyone involved.

A huge thank you to Tesco on Chesterfield Road for their generous support in donating selection boxes. Your contributions helped make the visit even more special for the children, ensuring no little one went without a festive treat.

At Mansfield Town, giving back to the community is at the heart of what we do. Visits like this are a reminder of the power of kindness, especially during the holiday season, and the joy that can be spread with a small gesture or in this case, a whole bundle of gifts!

We hope the children we visited are feeling better and are out of hospital in time to enjoy Christmas at home, and a heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make the day so special.
