Support our Celebration Toy Fund

For any child, spending time in hospital – no matter how long or short their stay – can be very trying. What can make their stay more difficult is when they find themselves in hospital during times of celebration, such as Christmas, Diwali or Eid.

We try to make all of these occasions magical for the kids who have to spend them with us, to ensure their stay is as exciting, fun and sparkly as it would be if they were at home. Now, you can help us do that too by donating to our Celebration Toy Fund.

Our Celebration Toy Fund has been created specifically to purchase toys and games, so children staying in hospital during these celebrations and religious holidays will receive a present.

Making every gift count

Our Play Facilitators will use these funds to place orders from a specially-curated list of gifts, which have been chosen using their expert experience. In previous years, many of our generous supporters have chosen to donate toys, whether physical toy collections or toy donations via our Amazon Wishlist. However, we’ve often found ourselves short of presents in certain age ranges.

By providing our Play Facilitators with the flexibility of our Celebration Toy Fund, it means we can ensure we have the right number of gifts for ALL our kids, whatever their age.

This does mean we are unable to accept physical, in-person toy donations or deliveries. However, we can assure you, a donation to our Celebration Toy Fund will ensure our young patients still get their moment of magic at Christmas, on their birthday, or whatever the celebration.

Help give a special gift

A donation of £10 could provide a gift for a child in our hospital, such as a Lego set, building blocks or a sensory toy to help brighten their stay
