For our December 2024 Christmas Toy Drive, Father Christmas visited Jack's Place children's ward at Northwick Park Hospital, bringing smiles to children with cancer and other conditions, and to their siblings and families.

Thanks to a generous donation from our friends at Children with Cancer UK, we were able to deliver 150 gifts to children, siblings and families on the ward, almost double our output in 2023.

Our partners this year

• Encore UK kicked off our drive by wrapping over 60 brand new toys
• The Directory Guys supported the drive from the outset
• LoveUxbridge donated to our appeal
• Tesco UK continued their ongoing support
• Knockmoy Consultancy and giffgaff joined the effort

Special thanks to Laura Simpson, St Matthew's Church Youth Worker, and the pupils and staff at St Matthew's CoE Primary School who donated beautiful handmade Christmas cards for our children and families.

And thank you to Alison Batten, Bumblebee Ward Play Specialist, who wrote: “Thank you for thinking of us again this year, and for all the effort you put into organising this. It really means a lot to our patients and families.”
