BUSINESSES and individuals are being invited to spread a little Christmas cheer to Warrington Hospital – by donating gifts for children.
Donations of toys, games, gift vouchers or other gifts are being collected for children and teenagers up to 18. They will be delivered on Christmas morning to youngsters on the children’s wards.
Hospital play specialist Kath Coleman said: “We’re asking for people to donate gifts to the children’s ward, so that the children who are not well enough to leave hospital get a special gift on Christmas morning.”
Presents should be delivered, unwrapped, but ideally with a donation of wrapping paper, to the children’s ward with a label stating if the gift is for a boy or girl, and the age range of the gift.
Staff ask that name and address details are included, so thank you letters can be sent.
Father Christmas will deliver donated gifts to the children on Christmas Day.
Any remaining presents will be saved for the hospitals’ bravery scheme and presented to courageous children who have undergone painful or unpleasant procedures, and to children who spend their birthdays on the ward throughout the year.
Staff say they would welcome support from local businesses and anyone who can help should contact the play team on 01925 573582.
