Hi, I'm Paije and I'm raising money to buy books, puzzles and activities for the children staying on the Padua Ward in Ashford WH Hospital.

Due to the pandemic, the children having to stay on the ward cannot access toys, books or engaging activities freely. They have designated toys per child, to prevent the chance of infection spreading.
Staying in hospital is traumatic, hard and boring for all children, no matter the age, and these restrictions only make this harder on them.

With the money raised, each child will be able to pick books, activites etc. that they can use during their stay, to try and bring a little bit of joy during a very difficult time!

I know first hand how incredible the Padua ward is, as our daughter had a stay there last year. She was too young to enjoy the play room, but did enjoy the music sessions and toys provided. Sadly for children currently on the ward, their experiences will be different to our own, as these areas, activities and toys are now all limited.

Any amount that can be given will make such a difference to these children and will provide a relief and happiness during their hospital stays.

Thank you xx
