Our December 2023 Christmas Toy Drive delivered new toys and wellbeing treats to children with cancer and their families on the wards at Hillingdon Hospital.

Special thanks

• The pupils of St Laurence Primary School Cowley, for the beautifully designed and thoughtfully worded cards
• Steve Tuckwell MP (Uxbridge and South Ruislip)
• Rachel Xuereb
• Dr Alan McGlennan, Chief Medical Officer, Hillingdon Hospital

Every card, every gift, and every kind word helps a child feel seen at a time of year that can otherwise feel very lonely.

Why we do this

Christmas is one of the most important seasons for our children with cancer and their families. When treatment continues through the festive period, when the hospital ward becomes home for December, and when siblings can feel forgotten in the rush of care, small acts of joy matter.
