“To be in hospital over the festive season must be incredibly hard, so we’re excited to be hosting a Christmas party for young patients on the Children’s Unit, as well as spending time in the afternoon with elderly patients. So, we’re appealing for donations of toys and gifts so we can spread some festive cheer.”
