Hi everyone


I run a UK registered charity, Heal The World For Children. Each August we host a Children's Festival in Dulwich Park for local sick and disadvantaged children and visit hospitals and hospices each Christmas to take gifts and entertainment to children who have to be in hospital during the festive season.


This month we will be visiting UCLH and I am urgently looking for donations of unwanted new toys, CDs and games to take with us.


We are a small charity (three people) and we all work at other jobs. This year we have not had much time to raise the necessary funds to buy as many gifts as we need.


Please do get in touch if you have anything to donate or if you would like further indormation.


Thank you.

Hi


Thank you!! The age range is 0 to 12 (although the other ward has teenagers on it). We will be visiting on 19th December so ideally I would like to collect things by the 15th so that I can wrap them up and label them.


I would be happy to collect any items.


My number is : 07963636692


Thank you!

Hello, I have a few things to donate. Is there any chance that there's a local business out there that would be willing to hold a collection box for you for people to drop things off? I unfortunately don't have a car but would hate to make you come to us for just a few things.
Toni & Guy Ward (the KCH children's ward that most children acutely unwell get admitted to) is having a Christmas gift drive if anyone wanted to donate to a more local hospital. There's a page about it on FB (search for "Toni & Guy Ward" & it'll then be the first result.

Yes, Tony and Guy are great , my daughter was there for quite a long time last year. In fact out first ever charity event in 2009 was to this ward, you can see photos of the visit on the wall of their playroom.


No child should be in hospital.


I chose UCLH this year as the students in my form group will be attending and it was safer for them to attend a hospital local to the school.


Everyone is being very generous so we will indeed have plenty of toys. I was thinking of using any excess to visit Demelza but I will contact Sue on T&G and see if we can also go there before or just after Christmas. Will be nice to thank them all again for helping my daughter at a time when we thought she wouldn't make it.

Mybaby178 - On the FB page it says the pressie should be wrapped but with a description of what it is/age & sex it's appropriate for (I recall giving a teenage boy an Emma Bunton cd one yr in A&E).


Prob best to call the ward & speak to the ward manager before dropping off.


Mens - fair enough & didn't mean to hijack x

    • Leaving the country having been made somewhat more difficult than it used to be.  Can't quite put my finger on why.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
