Caring for the carers: local retailer delivers thank you gifts to mark International Nurses Day

Peter McBride who runs 13 SPAR stores in Counties Tyrone, Fermanagh and Armagh, has delivered 50 thank you hampers to Marie Curie nurses in the local community to mark International Nurses Day.

Peter commented; “We have so much to thank our care-givers for, but over the past year our community nurses have been quietly carrying out their duties during the most challenging year of their careers. This year, on International Nurses Day, we wanted to mark it with a small gesture to show our appreciation to our local Marie Curie nurses.

“We’re very proud to support Marie Curie NI and will continue our fundraising efforts in our stores alongside our local communities.
