Top tips for giving gifts:
- Gifts that are particularly useful include:
- Toys must be brand new
- Toys must not be gift wrapped
- Soft toys are not accepted on our wards and departments due to the risk of cross-infection
Before giving a gift:
- Infection control is vital in the hospitals so please bear in mind:
- Second-hand items should be able to be wiped clean
- Soft items (like teddy bears) should be new
- We can’t accept used toys or clothing, large toys or other large items, or mechanical toys
- Unfortunately we cannot pay for the cost of collecting your gifts and delivering them to the hospital
Knitting/Sewing projects:
We do accept knitted garments for our premature and neonatal babies, but often have a greater supply than we can use, so it is always worth making contact with the hospital first if you are planning to donate a large number of knitted items.
We currently have several knitting projects which you can help with including:
- 6000 Hats (pdf for instruction)
