Our communities generosity continues to grow each year and for this we are truly grateful. Due to ESNEFT infection and prevention guidelines we are limited to what we can accept. In addition we may at times have to decline generous offers due to levels of demand on our wards.

Here is a guide to what we can and can't accept. If you are unsure about if we can accept your donation, please contact us before starting your collection and we can give you the most up to date information. 

We can accept

• Large blankets for palliative care patients
• Twiddle muffs for patients with Dementia/Alzheimers
• Matching knitted hearts for families  - you can find the knitting pattern HERE and the crochet pattern HERE (a pink colour is preferred but not essential) 

We can't accept

• Easter eggs - Alternatively you can purchase Puddles our adorable duck which can be donated to a child in our care
• Food for sharing
• Children's gifts - We are extremely lucky to have large organisations that gift our hospitals Children's toys throughout the year. Please consider a donation to our Children's wards instead of a gift this year. All donations help patients, staff and the community when they need it most. 
• Children's Toys
• Pre loved toys and clothes
• Art - Can only be accepted on an ad-hoc basis 
• Christmas gifts
