Story

We need your help!

Sometimes children are admitted to hospital with either little or no belongings. We have launched the shoebox appeal to ensure that we give a child an emergency pack of clothing and toiletries to make them comfortable whilst in hospital.

The donations received will provide year-round support for children up to 16 years old.

We can only accept new items due to hygiene reasons, the vital items we need are:

• Socks/underwear

• Baby grows and vests

• Pjs

• An outfit

• Toiletries

If you would like to make a donation so we can purchase these items:

• £5, would help purchase toiletries for our younger patients

• £10, would help purchase socks and underwear or Baby grows & vests

• £20, would help purchase a set of PJs

• £30, would help purchase an outfit

• £60, would help purchase a package of all of the above items

No child should go without the essential items this Christmas.

If you would like to physically donate you can do so by either dropping off the items directly to our children’s ward at Russells Hall Hospital or at the main entrance, between Monday-Friday 8.30am to 4.40pm.

Please label the bag/box so it is easy for our volunteers to identify and take them to the children’s ward

Thank you for your generosity.
