For any child, spending time in hospital, no matter how long or short their stay, is hard. What can make it more difficult is when they find themselves in hospital during times of celebration, such as Christmas, Diwali or Eid.
Birmingham Children’s Hospital try to make all of these occasions magical for the kids, to ensure their stay is as exciting, fun and sparkly as it would be if they were at home. Now, we all have the opportunity to help do that too by making a donation to our Celebration Toy Fund.
The 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 sure every child has a present this Christmas
Birmingham Children’s Hospital Play Facilitators will use all donated funds to place orders from a specially-curated list of gifts, which have been chosen using their expert experience. In previous years, many generous supporters have chosen to donate toys, whether physical toy collections or toy donations via our Amazon Wishlist. However Birmingham Children’s Hospital have often found themselves short of presents in certain age ranges.
By providing Play Facilitators with the flexibility of our Celebration Toy Fund, it means we can ensure the Hospital have the right number of gifts for ALL the kids, whatever their age.
