Wolves players help Compton Care patients and staff have a Merry Christmas
The continued partnership between Wolves and Compton Care has continued with the annual visit by players at Christmas time.
Nathan Collins, Maximilian Kilman, Toti, Yerson Mosquera and Joe Hodge visited the centre on Monday and spent time with both patients and staff at Compton Care, who provide support spiritually, emotionally and physiologically, alongside their clinical care in Wolverhampton and surrounding areas.
Wolves players visit Compton Care each Christmas, and this year the first team players handed out chocolates, biscuits and gifts, as well as blankets and scarves at the inpatient unit, meeting those patients who were well enough in person.
Wolves also donated towards two turkeys, 40 pigs in blankets, Christmas puddings and all the vegetables to ensure all patients had a Christmas dinner, as well as Domino’s pizzas for the staff who are working so hard over Christmas.
Wolves marketing manager Charlotte Johnson said: “This is a small gesture we can do each year for Compton Care, which is very close to the training ground, so is close to the club, and the patients and staff seemed to really appreciate the visit.
“The patients were so happy to see the players and it was touching to see smiles on their faces.
“A lovely man put a Wolves polo shirt on and came to meet the players and his friend who wasn’t well enough to come had a video message sent by Nathan Collins.
"There was another lady who is going home for Christmas, and she said it was her dream come true meeting the players.
“It’s great to have these links in our community.
"The Wolves Foundation work with Compton Care on a variety of bereavement programmes and previously we’ve hosted families at the open training session and donated tickets for games.
"We’ll continue with these initiatives and gestures as we know how important the club is to the community.”
