Christmas Collection For Ipswich Hospital

Nov 10th

Help Spread Christmas Cheer to The Ipswich Hospital Children’s Ward

We are so excited to announce that we have teamed up with REED IPSWICH again collecting toys for their annual Christmas Toy Drive for THE IPSWICH HOSPITAL CHILDREN’S WARD!

Our mission is to spread a little festive cheer and comfort to young patients and their families who will be spending Christmas in the hospital.

We are asking members of the school community to donate what they can for children who won’t be at home this Christmas.

Here’s how you can help:

What to Donate: We are greatly appreciative of donations of any small toys, books, arts, and crafts. Here is a link to help: Amazon.co.uk

IMPORTANT: TOYS MUST BE BRAND NEW, NOT PRE-LOVED. This is a critical requirement for the hospital.

Donations Due: Please drop off all donations BEFORE 10th DECEMBER.

Drop-off Location: Donations should be handed into the School Reception (during school hours).

Every single donation brings a smile to a child facing a difficult time.

Thank you for helping us support these amazing young patients!
