What an incredible story - this is exactly the kind of impact that matters.
Proud that County Hotel Carlisle could play a small part in recognising Steve and the amazing work he does.
Huge credit to Room to Reward and Weston Park Cancer Charity for what they do.

"Thanks to Steve, we were able to bring Santa’s Grotto to a hospital ward for a young family facing their last Christmas together. The sheer delight on the three children’s faces as Santa walked into the hospital room with a sack full of presents will never be forgotten."
Sometimes, statements from R2R nominations about the impact of volunteers stop us in our tracks. This one, from our friends Weston Park Cancer Charity, leapt off the screen. Steve is the epitome of a Hidden Hero. Everything our charity was set up to recognise.
The wonderful support of The County Hotel and Cairn Group meant we were able to recognise Steve's extraordinary dedication with a well-earned break.
