Leeds Children’s Hospital Seeks Donations for Christmas Gifts

How the Community Can Support Children This Festive Season

Leeds Children’s Hospital is inviting members of the public to contribute to its Christmas Wish List, aiming to provide gifts for children receiving care over the festive period. The initiative is coordinated by Leeds Hospitals Charity, which oversees the collection and distribution of presents to patients.

Donation Process and Guidelines

Individuals wishing to donate are asked to make their contributions exclusively through the hospital’s online Wish List. This approach helps manage donations efficiently and ensures that gifts reach the children in a timely manner. The hospital has specifically requested that donors do not attend the hospital in person to drop off presents.

For businesses and community groups planning larger donations, it is necessary to book a drop-off slot in advance. This arrangement helps the hospital coordinate deliveries and maintain smooth operations during the busy festive period.

Wish List and Gift Selection

The hospital’s specialist play team has curated a selection of toys and gifts suitable for children with a variety of needs and abilities. These items are intended to bring comfort and joy to young patients during their stay. Donors can select a gift from the online Wish List, and the hospital’s team will arrange delivery directly to the wards before Christmas.

Additional Information

• All donations must be made via the official online Wish List.
• Large group donations require prior booking for drop-off.
• The gift selection is designed to cater to children with diverse medical and developmental needs.
• The hospital’s play specialists oversee the distribution of presents to ensure they are appropriate and beneficial.
