Testimonials

The Almoner at St John’s receives a number of letters from grateful recipients of grants. These grants have assisted a variety of people in a number of different ways, from food tokens to household items.  They are only distributed through local organisations.

Here is just a small sample from the organisations that make the referrals and a few of the recipients that St John's Hospital has been able to help:
