This week, Genevieve Rose and Jim from our Southern Region office had the privilege of delivering the collection of toys, books, teddies, and vouchers donated to our Giving Tree to the wonderful staff at CUH Charity. 🎁

They were warmly welcomed by Rachel Griffin, Play Specialist, Claire Concannon from the CUH Charity and the fantastic nursing staff of the CUH Children’s Ward, who work tirelessly to care for sick children.

Our Giving Tree was a huge success, with over 80 gifts donated. These presents will bring joy to children spending Christmas in the hospital and will also be used to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and communions throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who contributed so generously.
