Elmore is the mascot for ELHT&Me, East Lancashire Hospital NHS Trust official charity. East Lancashire Hospital NHS Trust is seen as the beating heart of our wonderful and diverse community. They have over 8,000 staff working across five hospital sites as well as providing community services across East Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen. They are all working together to make sure our extended hospital family can continue to care for yours, including ELMORE.
Normally ELMORE can be seen out and about at the hospitals, but like everyone else he staying indoors to help his dedicated friends during these exceptional times. As a show of appreciation for our NHS heroes, ELMORE has created a colouring sheet that can be coloured in by children and adults alike and displayed in windows to say #ThankyouNHS.
ELMORE wants everyone to help him spread some cheer by downloading their free colouring sheet to show their love, support and thanks to our NHS staff. They would love to see the images of your completed designs once your children (or you!) have decorated. They can be shared with them by emailing fundraising@elht.nhs.uk or tagging them @ELHTandMe on social media.
