The Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust is centralising its Children’s Services to create a new Childrens Hospital on the Leeds General Infirmary site, second only in size in this country to the Great Ormond Street Hospital and solving the issue of seriously ill youngsters having to be transferred across the city for treatment.

New wards mean new beginnings and we at the Charitable Foundation want to make every child’s stay as wonderful as possible. We would love every child to have a ‘put-up’ bed beside them to allow a parent or guardian to stay in comfort. We want each bed to have a box of toys to help fill the hours our patients spend with us. It would be fantastic to leave the old VHS machines behind when the move takes place and provide DVD players and a variety of films to suit all children’s ages.

We want to make the wards, theatres, parent waiting rooms and day case sections child- and family-friendly, too. We would like to banish plain walls and put up art and pictures to cheer and bring pleasure to patients and their families.So please dig deep and donate now.
