IT’S not often that someone knocks on your door and hands over the biggest Christmas food hamper you’re likely to see.
But that’s exactly what happened when Park’s deliveryman called on Hazel Sutcliffe.
“I was absolutely bowled over,” Hazel said. “It was suddenly like being in my local supermarket – there was so much food and it was all for free!”
Hazel, from New Moston, Manchester, was the lucky winner of our hugely popular Park Empire Hamper competition that attracted more than 1,500 entries from right across the North West and beyond.
Her prize was Park’s top-of-the-range Empire hamper, worth almost £520!
“I just couldn’t believe I’d won,” she said. “I picked up my All Together NOW! from my local Asda store (Harpurhey, Manchester) and when I saw the competition I thought wouldn’t it be nice to have a hamper like that for Christmas. So I entered and WON!
“I think All Together NOW! is the best, most informative and liveliest newspaper I have ever read.
“I am a carer myself and also not in very good health at the moment, and this amazing newspaper has helped me contact various services and organisations I didn’t know existed!
“I’d like to say a big thanks to everyone at Park for supporting this charity newspaper,” Hazel added.
“It’s unique and it’s helping so many people.”
Hazel’s son Chris, 23, who has autism, is also celebrating after landing a part-time job with Boots.
“It’s good working there,” said Chris (better known to his friends as “CJ Sutcliffe”).
He’s also good with a camera – as our picture he snapped of his mum with all the goodies clearly shows.
For more than 40 years Park has been providing top quality hampers for hundreds of thousands of customers across the country.
